A daughter learned how much the Mariners meant to her mother as she battled ovarian cancer this spring.
I am not a bona fide Seattle Mariners fan, but my mom, Daisy, was.
I am using the past tense because my mom passed away on May 8.
She was a Chinese Jamaican lady who grew up with brothers who played cricket in Kingston, Jamaica. She married my dad, who brought her to Seattle, and they both loved watching baseball.
My mom told me that she would watch the games muted on the television and listen to the radio broadcast by Dave Niehaus.
