It is the 28th of June, 2013 and I am going to watch the Mariners play the Cubs on a Friday Night. I get off work early, grab up a couple friends, and the excitement has already built in the car on the ride in to Safeco. Tonight, Brad Miller, this nebulous, mythical, hero-we-all need is debuting at short. It is the first "Fireworks Night" announced, a promotion that draws a large crowd, and will become a mainstay of summers at Safeco since. The weather is idyllic. I do not know it yet, but this will be one of the top five games I attend in my life.
A farewell to "It Boy"
