Felix Hernandez throwing his final pitch in a Mariners’ uniform will be the story of the season. Those stories have already been written, most of them beautifully, and they will continue to be written. But I am not writing about Felix Hernández, not directly.
Instead, we should talk about the player who with one leap saved Felix’s final outing from becoming tainted with the bitter aftertaste of concealed embarrassment. I am talking of course about Dylan Moore, a player I once accused of looking “like a lost toddler in an amusement park.
