bleakness abounded, and then there was...

Felix Hernandez
DEAN RUTZ / THE SEATTLE TIMES
Congratulations to the 2010 Cy Young Award Winner!


1000 words and such...

tweet from The Real Mariners...
Shortly after we learned Felix won the Cy Young there was a rainbow outside Safeco Field. Dave no doubt heard the news, too.


I remember when, I watched him walk to the bullpen ...

19 years young ... 
throw some warm up tosses ...

Yes, he wore 59 before switching to Freddy's 35

And then, my first and only time seated directly behind home plate, I watched as Felix threw his very first pitch as a Mariner at Safeco Field...

Oh what a glorious day!
photo not coming through well here, but the speed gun registered 98


Oh, by the way...
Felix posted eight shutout innings, allowed five hits, zero walks and six strikeouts and the Mariners won 1-0.


Some things never change :-)
