The Current and Future King

We bask in the glow of his uncommon nonchalance and even rarer prominence.

It was a brief moment, a passing thing in the middle of a waning and tiring battle.  Without so much as a tip of his cap, an adjustment of his armor, our King became our greatest hero.  All great heroes never mind their own dominance.  It comes to them with the sort of nonchalance that a deep breath comes to us after we have run some short distance.  I hate walking up stairs.  In the fifth inning, Felix Hernandez surpassed Jamie Moyer on the all-time innings count for Mariners' pitchers.
