Seattle Mariners vs Tampa Bay Devil Rays - 05/08/06

One last trip to Safeco Park. A really nice ballpark. Got me a cheap seat in left field for $14. With handling and taxes, it came out to about $20. But they never checked tickets, so I sat all around the park in various seats (as you'll see in the pics). Again, I took a lot. I didn't know anyone on the Mariners except for Ichiro, so there's lots of pics of him.
