A v good boi

In Lookout Landing Land...

  • First thing’s first: haaaaave you heard about the 1st Annual Tim Cantu MemoriaLL SoftbaLL Game? If you’re gonna click a link in this post, it should be this one.
  • He’s OUR little baseball elf.
  • One of the most important parts about Lookout Landing having media access is that we now have Tucker access.

In Mariners Land...

  • Baseball truly is a game for grown up kids and I love it.
  • Happy first birthday to Chloe Sewald! The Mariners community can’t wait to see you grow (and see your Dad continue to absolutely dominate).
  • After 8 seasons with the Modesto Nuts (for which the Mariners have been affiliated with for the past 5 years), play-by-play voice Keaton Gillogly has announced via Instagram that he’ll be moving on to a new opportunity with the Montana State Bobcats. Thank you, Keaton! We’ll miss you.
  • Look at these two guys who look really, really uncomfortable in their economy seats.

In Baseball Land...

  • This week Soloman Bates became the second active player in Minor League Baseball to come out as gay with this post below. If anyone knows anything about being a minority, they know that saying “representation matters” isn’t just a buzz phrase, it’s everything. Congratulations to Soloman! You can read the story about it on SBNation’s OutSports here.
  • Stop the presses. This is the greatest in-game fan experience to ever exist.
  • So uh, this is new. Our colleagues over at Royals Review will have to report back on how it is. Tell us in the poll below if you’d try it.

  • How’s this for an outfit transition? Courtesy of this year’s Field of Dreams game.
  • Man, I love Little League WS season.

In Shay Land...

  • I have to give a shoutout to a family friend down in DC for their absolute delicious drag persona of Tara Hoot (like Terra Haute, hehehehe). Give Tara a follow, you won’t be disappointed.
