Mariners Moose Tracks, 2/26/17: Mariners Win, Mike Montgomery, and Kelsey Plum

Good morning everybody! It sure feels good have real baseball around again, even if it doesn’t count. After listening to the game yesterday I’m seriously debating buying a plane ticket to Phoenix for spring break. Last year I made the trip and stayed with my grandma who turns 90 next October. At the time I assumed she would accompany me to a couple games over the course of the week, while I went to the rest by myself. However, she was right by my side for all six games. Grandma, if you’re reading this, we might have to shoot for seven this year!

Here are some links to get your Sunday started.
