And while most Spring Training games offer very minimal intrigue, they’re often entertaining, and it’d be nice if they were regularly available to watch for moments like these. But today’s game is, unfortunately, not being broadcasted by the Mariners, or the Diamondbacks, or MLB.TV, so today’s events will have to be lived vicariously through the words of those at the ballpark.
From Dave Sims’ mouth and the fingers of Shannon Drayer, it appears the Mariners have done something I’ve never heard of, or seen before, in my years of watching baseball.
That’s not to say it’s never happened, but I can’t recall such an occurrence and a brief search through Google didn’t yield any helpful results.
