It takes a special kind of person to love something when it has never given you anything in return. Felix had absolutely no reason to stay. The team that the Mariners was put around him was never enough.
But when he walked into that press conference all those years ago after signing that extension, it was sealed. Felix Hernandez became more than just a baseball player at that moment. He became ours. He was a member of our family and we were a member of his.
His legacy will go down in history. I have never seen a send-off like the one that I was apart of for Felix last night.
