Fan Fest 2012

Fan Fest 2012 was this last weekend.  It was cold and windy out but at least it wasn't raining.  A view of the King's Court from the right field foul pole as we were waiting in line for autographs.

The crew at Safeco really decked out this section.

This year the players who were there for the Season Ticket Holder special time slot were newly acquired Cather/DH Jesus Montero and LF/1B Mike Carp.  While Anthony was in line outside, Amy hung out inside by the players.  One of the staff members who stands with the players got an autographed picture of  Jesus Montero and came by and gave it to Amy for Xander.  It was very cool of them.  So an autographed ball from each player and an autographed picture from each player later and then we walked thru the stadium.  

The new Dave Niehaus tribute statue is in Center Field.  It is a big area and is surrounded by Dave's slogan calls like: "Swung on and Belted", "Fly Fly Away", and "Get out the Rye Bread and Mustard."

On top of everything, the Mariners always sell autographed balls from former players.  They had a Doug Fister ball at $75 which is just ridiculous.  The best deal was $15 for an Erik Bedard ball.  Anthony loves him some Bedard so we scooped that up quickly and kept going.  Anthony sure loves autographed balls.  Anyways, 13 days until Pitchers and Catchers report to Spring Training.  The season is just around the corner.  Go M's!
