. . . you'll recall the city was electric. Soccer moms huddled over Starbucks take-away ventes on the muddied field of Queen Anne were talking about last night's game. No kidding.The moms were chewing it over. The dads were trying to find tickets for tonight. My nine-year-old suddenly sprouted Edgar's bat how high stance. She's getting married in two weeks and the Yankee series is one of the great memories of both our lives. This is exactly why we have professional sports; the only reason - to provide a common bond to civic life.
Would Safeco exist without 95? No.
Would the Seahawks have won the Super Bowl? Probably not. If not for Safeco, there is no football stadium. Without the stadium, no 12th man. Without the 12th man . . . .
In pure, cold-hearted logic, of course you shouldn't spend precious respources on such a silly, probably unattainabe goal. But that's the point - pro sports aren't about logic, they're about fun. Let's have some.
