King's Court

After some time working in my classroom and looking for an apartment, I headed home in time to take in a Mariner Game.  They were playing the Atlanta Braves, whom I used to follow and like all the way back when I was in 6th and 7th grade.  I'm sure I knew about the Mariners back then, but the Braves were the only team we actually got  to see play because we were living in Springfield, Oregon and the games would be broadcasted on TBS.  Also Felix was pitching and I had always wanted to sit in the King's Court, so I felt it was a great opportunity to hit all in one fell swoop.

We got there a bit late after rushing around to get ready and me just driving into town from Spokane. We got our shirts, K cards, and food, then headed to our seats.  Someone was already in our seats and didn't look like they were going to move. I politely told them, they were in our seats again and finally they made a move to get up.  We filed through to our seats and ended up sitting next to a family from Canada, behind us were people from England, and next to us were some Native Americans, such an international affair.  The Canadian guy who sat next to me was hilarious, but also very chatty. I think he talked to me all night.  I learned they went to the Crab Pot for dinner, he coached his daughter's team, it was his son's first trip to the States and his first baseball game, it takes 5 hours to fly to Toronto from Vancouver and that it's cheaper to fly to Mexico then to fly Toronto (in their own country.), and that they would be going their in November.
The game was amazing the Mariners won and they made it exciting throughout the game, scoring 4 runs to the Braves 2 runs.  There was lots of jumping around and high-fiving.  Also every time Felix was about to get the 3rd strike against the batter, we, the "King's Court", had to stand up and shout "K, K, K, K, K, K, K, " until he pitched that ball.  That part was a lot of fun, but it was hard to see the actual pitch because everyone's cards were in the way.  Sometimes he was able to do it it, right away for a batter, but sometimes he took more pitches, so there was a lot of getting up and getting down.
