Our dear friend Julie won box seats at the Mariners game thru a contest and when she invited us to go with her, we were excited. Xander and Anthony had only been to 1 game this year (Opening Day). Xander got decked out in his Ichiro M's shirt and had fun sitting in his own chair (our neighbors had left, so there was an extra chair for Xander to play in). He looks pretty cute, wouldn't you say?
He played on the seat a bunch and looked below the chair many times to see what he could see. We didn't let him down on the ground too much because he was going to want to crawl around in all the trash our neighbors had left around.
Amy and Xander early in the game. Check out Amy's retro M's jacket. Matching retro t-shirt is underneath as well.
The game was slow at first until the 6th inning when some runs were scored. Xander started to get pretty tired and fussy in the 8th inning. Once he got on his Dad's shoulder, he was out. He missed the M's getting out of a jam in the top of the 9th and didn't wake up when the M's loaded the bases in the bottom of the 9th and won with a walk off sacrifice fly by John Jaso. On the stadium TV's we saw Marcus Thames giving John Jason a shaving cream pie to the face, which was pretty funny! Xander slept through all the excitement and crazy loud roar of the crowd - a real trooper all around.
