We honor Ryan Divish’s performance — during and after — the Seattle Mariners hot dog eating contest July 4, 2012. Only thing faster than Ryan downing the dogs was his sprint to the restroom. In a cautionary move, we established the “Ryan Divish splash zone” around his press box seat.

Almost 10 o’clock as the sun goes down and sprint cars line up for the feature race on a glorious summer night at Skagit Speedway.

Ahem, Shannon Drayer …

Yes!

Congrats to Paul Barrett! What in the world were we thinking all those years ago in Everett?

Maybe it’s just me, but I get chills watching kids on the diamond at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, where so many baseball legends have played.

Among all the cool baseball things in Cooperstown this weekend is a youth clinic with Coach Ballgame. Great lessons in baseball and life. And, he’s coming to Snohomish in September. coachballgame.com

Thanks National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾. Thanks Cooperstown. Thanks Ichiro. Thanks Jamie Moyer. Thanks Seattle Mariners. And most of all, thanks baseball.
