Saturday night, Father's Day Eve I met my old friends the Hardcastles for a night at Safeco Field. We saw the 2nd game of a three-game home stand. Entering the game, the Washington Nationals and the Mariners were tied for most losses in Major League Baseball. The M's lost Friday night, and we were able to witness them take a firm hold on worst record in baseball with a 5-2 loss. But it was a terrific night to be at the ball park, even though I don't think I could have named a single member of the Washington Nationals before the game started.
The Hardcastles were our neighbors about 18 or so years ago and have moved all around the Western US. They are living in Midway, Utah now, and took vacation to the Pacific Northwest, ending their trip at Safeco Field. Their oldest son, Colt, used to be Sonja's playmate when she was a toddler. Colt is not a Richie Sexton fan, so he got ample opportunities to enjoy Richie's ineptness in light of having the batter in front of him being intentionally walked to load the bases in order to pitch to Richie. The Washington Nationals, and Colt, were not disapppointed as Sexton was easily retired.
