I'll probably pour it down the drain shortly after, but the honor is still there. If Willie makes it to one of these hallowed records, I’m going to open one of my SP Lagers to toast him.

It's never been the Mariners Way to punish the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, or ninth thing wrong with this club. That sounds right.

Maybe until he learns to swing so clumsily that his batting helmet slips down over his face, ala Turbo...

That would be pretty cool.</blockquote> Yes, and in years past the fireworks shows would always seem to coincide with one of Mark Mulder's ultra-efficient complete games. If I'm not mistaken, <a href="http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2003/B05060OAK2003.htm" rel="nofollow">this game</a> was on fireworks night, but the 1:49 game time meant that it wasn't dark enough to do the show directly after the game. They actually had to wait a half hour or forty-five minutes after the game ended to do the show!
