[NFBWATLK] The Subject is Baseball

The contract for naming the field was up with Safeco and therefore the Mariners were offered a large amount of money for the naming rights to be switched to T-Mobile! So for the next 20 or so years the field will be called T-Mobile Park. Safeco had it from 1999 till 2019 and then that that contract was up.

So, I just want to post here, that the Mariners won the first regular season of the year against Oakland within the last hour. The game was played in Tokyo, and started at 2:35 AM (Pacific) this morning. It was a strange phenomenon to be listening to the end of a baseball game on the bus as I was coming *in* to work. If the Ms are on the East Coast, I can sometimes listen to the beginning of the game on the way home in the afternoon. If I hadn't been paying attention, I might have missed my stop downtown. (grin.) There will be the second and final regular season game from Japan tomorrow at the same time, so I can do this two days in a row. Amazing what amuses some people, huh!
