7 Up, 7 Down: Mariners Games I Attended In 2012

For a good portion of the 2012 season I was still working for the local TV station that airs Seattle Mariner baseball.  Even on off days, I would request company tickets and attend a game as a fan.  Yes, even on days off… I chose to watch baseball.  It’s a sickness, but a good sickness.  What can I say, I love the game.

After I left the company in mid-August, my love for the game of baseball did not stop.  I ended up making it to seven Mariner home games this year and wanted to share with you on how I fared as a fan; it wasn’t pretty until the very end.

Play ball!
