Now for the Tidbits

- Last weekend I was able to be in the press box for the Mariners’ losing games in Seattle. By the end of the second inning I had grabbed all four foul balls that came into the press box in the first game. Employees gave me certificates of authenticity, and I bought clear plastic boxes for each one — great gifts for my for grandkids. An office employee told me 100 to 120 balls are used per game. Watch www.mariners.com for ticket specials. Tickets for the Friday night game were as low as $8 as the M’s had won eight straight games. And you can take the light-rail train to the stadium to avoid huge car-parking prices.
