Game 27 Recap: Mariners Through a Child's Eyes

Wow, what a game! Yesterday's Mariners game was AMAZING, even if I think I fell asleep for a little bit. Mommy says I was just resting my eyes, but I saw Julio Rodríguez hit a HUGE home run! It went so far! It was like a magic flying baseball!

The Home Run Heard 'Round the House (and Maybe the Stadium!)

Seriously, that home run was the best part. Julio, he's like my favorite superhero. He swings his bat and BAM! The ball disappears! I think it might have landed in another state. Mommy says it didn't, but I'm pretty sure it did! Maybe it's on a secret adventure.

What Makes a Home Run So Exciting?

Mommy explained that a home run means the batter hits the ball so hard that it goes all the way around the field without stopping. That's like running super fast around your whole house, but with a baseball! She says it takes a lot of strength and skill. I think Julio has extra superhero strength!

Other Cool Things I Saw (Between Naps)

Besides the home run, I saw lots of other exciting things. There were really loud cheers every time the Mariners got a hit. I learned that a hit means the batter hit the ball and got to run to a base. It's like a race, but with baseballs! And the players wore really cool uniforms! They looked like real-life superheroes, too!

Understanding the Game's Flow: A Kid's Perspective

The game was long. Mommy says it took a long time, but it felt even longer! It was a bit like a really long story with lots of exciting parts. There were times when the players were really close to getting more points, and I would jump up and down, and then other times it seemed like nothing was happening. Even those parts were interesting in a quiet way.

Learning About Teamwork: The Mariners Family

Mommy says the Mariners are a team, like a family working together. Even when someone made a mistake, everyone cheered them on, and that was really cool. That reminds me of when my brother knocks over my blocks; I still help him build it back!

Tips for Watching a Mariners Game with Kids

• Bring snacks: Games can be long, and kids get hungry!
• Explain the rules: Keep it simple. Focus on the fun parts like the hits and the home runs.
• Make it interactive: Ask your kids questions about what they see, like "Who do you think will hit the ball next?"
• Let them explore their imagination: Pretend the game is a superhero story!

Overall: The Mariners game was a great experience. Even though I might have dozed off a little, it was still super fun! I can’t wait for the next game so I can see Julio and the rest of the team again. Go Mariners!
