note to self: Mariners Fanfest should be called "Mariners Family Fanfest"
Carl and I headed down to Safeco to check out the Mariners FanFest today - it's an event where you can get a bit more of an inside look of what goes on in baseball. You can see inside the clubhouse, hit at the batting cages, throw in the bullpen, shag balls in the outfield, hit over centerfield, check out what seats are available for season tickets packages and more!
That sounds great! So, will I be going back? Nah, probably not. Why? Well, other than the clubhouse and seeing some of the seats, we really couldnt't have been bothered waiting in the long lines to hit in the cages or to throw in the pen. And it looked like only kids were allowed to run the bases. I will say it would've been cool to go to something like this when growing up :)
Most important realization of this event? Baseball season isn't that far away :) Go Cards!
