If the LA Dodgers were winning 116 games it would be big old news. Tis true. I still remember touring the Kingdome back when I was 7 when it was built. Back in the good old days when everybody was ignoring Jim Zorn and the Seahawks and Alvin Davis and the M's. For good reason too ;)
Seattle has a mythic quality for me. My great-uncle was a priest out there. My mom and her immediate family drove across the country to visit him. She came back longing to return to Seattle, a place she thought was magical. My mom has often spoken of Seattle. That was before Seattle became known as the place where rich people live.
