Felix Hernandez took the mound Thursday for his final start of the season, and likely his final start for the Seattle Mariners, serenaded by tens of thousands of yellow-shirted fans chanting his name.
His teammates stayed in the dugout, so King Felix was alone on the mound, raising his hands, tipping his cap and pumping his fist to the home fans before signaling the rest of the Mariners to come out.
The Mariners were calling it "Felix Day," and several hours before the game, every Mariner on the field was wearing a bright yellow King Felix shirt during warm-ups.
