Today, we will battle the early Seattle sports traffic to get to T Mobile Park stadium for the Opening Ceremonies, make the arounds to the many food stands to see the new items on the menus. It will be kind of odd watching the Seattle Mariners play the Athletics that are now based out of Sacramento not Oakland.  Las Vegas is still building a new baseball stadium. But there is still a chance that the A's make stay in Oakland, if there is a change in ownership ( so you are saying there is a chance.)

So, this Mariners' fan will be prepared with my tailgating snacks and beverage ready to watch the first of game of the 2025 season!  LETS PLAY BALL!
