Last Wednesday, I was visiting my brother in Denver, so I (naturally) splurged on some tickets behind the Seattle Mariners dugout to catch their interleague matchup with the Rockies. It was a lovely afternoon – $1 hot dogs, Kyle Seager giving me a triumphant raised fist every time I exclaimed his praises, an unexpected rookie from AAA throwing 5 innings of 1-run ball, and the Mariners knocking out three towering home runs in the high altitude.
