About Last Night: We Happy Few

Around the fifth inning of last night’s 4-2 Seattle Mariners win, the video board made its typical rounds through the stands. Music blared, extolling the well-bundled crowd to get their blood flowing, move around and repel the brisk 43 degree conditions. The camera panned to various groups: a family or two with children swaddled like freshly-baked bread, pensioners chatting amiably and enjoying the space they’d been given by the rowdier in attendance, and packs of those young people ranging from what seemed like friends in their thirties to packs of high schoolers, all relishing in a $10 ticket on a weeknight.
