((( That Moose, sure knows how to make an entrance. Leading the Mariner caravan into the Valley today. Only KIMA at Union Gap School for another entertaining performance by the antlered entertainer...who broght along with him M's pitchers Blake Beavan and Tom Wilhelmsen. And, veteran Mariner TV broadcaster Mike Blowers. A one time M himself after starring for the U-Dub Huskies. Mike's seen a lot of Seattle teams over the years....cautious about predicting a championship for the 2012 bunch.

Mike Blowers "A lot of young talent on this team. So, I think the guys are excited. They're going to get started early this year. The pitchers are going to report February 10th because of the trip we're taking to Japan. It's an exciting time for the Mariners organization overall just because of the youth."

The Union Gap kids loving the players.....but, these stay in school messaged visits are really all about the northwest's favorite Mascot. )))
