Seattle Mariners - August 7th, 2008

On August 7th, 2008, my brother Kurt took myself and my two sons to a Seattle Mariners baseball game versus Tampa Bay. The 2 hour, 9 minute game went darn fast as it was a pitching duel. The Rays scoring a run in the top of the 4th with the Mariners finally tieing it up with a run in the bottom of the 8th, which got the fans charged up and set the stage for a dramatic finish in the 9th inning as seen below. Here's a few pictures of a great time at a great ballgame - thanks Bro'
