Last Thursday may have been Mimi's first Mariner's game but most definitely not her last. Erin's dad Sean is part of the Rotary Club and they had tickets to sell so naturally mom wanted to buy some. Mimi was ecstatic because we were going to the stadium with Erin and meet up with dad there. She was even happier to know that she was going to see Ichiro. I wished that I had taken a video. She was yelling at the top of her lungs "I - CHI - RO !!!" over and over right along with the rest of the crowd. True to form EVERYTIME dad got up from his seat to get food or go to the bathroom the Mariners would get on base otherwise it was nothing happening. Mariners were losing to Texas Rangers. In the 6th inning the score was Rangers-1, Mariners-0. Then dad went to the bathroom and all heck broke out. The Rangers walked Junior (Ken Griffey Jr.) and Ichiro hit a double. The crowd went wild with cheers. Long story short when dad returned to his seat the Mariners had the game all wrapped up with a beautiful bow. They won. The score was 3-1. A beautiful ending to a beautiful day.
