NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Danny Ferguson tells us why he’s a sold out 100% Seattle Mariners fan for life. It is about family. It is about reality. It is about the magic. It is about love for the team. There was a time when the Mariners, with Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Jay Buhner and Edgar Martinez on the team, were the most famous of all baseball clubs.
