I’m not from the US – being Irish – but I’ve travelled fairly extensively in America, and Seattle is the only place in American where I want to live.

It would be a pleasure to be able to watch you construct, in this fair city, a consistently competitive baseball team such as it deserves.

Thank you

Colm

I can only echo the sentiments shared by Derek and his commenters here. You will have every chance to succeed here, and it’s a decision you will not regret.

Take the leap, Chris. Put Seattle back on the baseball map. Make us proud of our team again.

Sincerely,
Jon Benne

All of this hooplah about the bad weather is just a trick we use to keep the undesirables away. You will be welcomed with open arms and a pleasant temperate climate. If you come to Seattle I will personally purchase you a Dick’s Deluxe for every home win.

Sincerely,
Hernandez

I attended Joe Namath’s final game. I attended Nolan Ryan’s final game. I attended Don Mattingly’s final game. Yesterday, I attended Bill Bavasi’s final game. If you take the GM job in Seattle, I promise never to attend another game, and you’ll have the job for life.

Your pal, Eric.

PS. Ask Ichiro why you don’t want to live in Cleveland.

It might not be easy. In fact, you may have to really convince these old school thinkers that a fresh outlook is was Seattle needs. But, just like I am convinced you are the man for the job, I am convinced you can show them the light, Mr. Antonetti.

Please. Join us!

I’m a NW native (not Seattle, but Coeur d’Alene) and I currently live in San Diego – land of eternal summer and beautiful everything. That said, given the choice, I would still choose to live in Seattle. That’s how great it is. They, the team, really need you. And we, the fans, will really love you. Come on in, Mr. Antonetti, the water is fine.

Right now, the only problem with Seattle is the baseball team. And that’s why we need you.

There are a lot of enlightened, amazing, devoted fans that follow this team. We look forward to seeing you mold this franchise into a perennial contender.
