SPAC3 RECAP: DO TAKE ANOTHER STEP

[We would like to thank @zzyzx for providing this recap. -Ed.]

Like any good obsessive, I have multiple interests that rule my life. Among them are - obviously - Phish, but also the Seattle Mariners take up way too many of my brain cells.

Usually they interact in different worlds. I might occasionally check the score during a show and I've taken in a few random day baseball games on tour this year to see new stadiums, but they rarely overlap. There are two exceptions though.

The 1995 playoff series with the Yankees, the one that is largely felt responsible for getting the new stadium built and keeping the team in town, took place during a northwest fall tour. I missed Edgar's grand slam because I was in the parking lot of Spokane and I was completely oblivious to the most famous play in Mariners' history - Edgar Martinez's game winning double - because I was in Missoula. I got a score update from CK at the break, and assumed the Yankees would hold onto their then 4-2 lead and eliminate the M's.

The second happened yesterday in Schenectady. Mel had been up late and it was raining all day so I was just going to let her sleep in. While getting back from my dreary morning walk, I ran into some Mariners' fans in the lobby of all things. It hadn't clicked, but Ichiro's induction into the Hall of Fame was yesterday and it was a short trip to Cooperstown. I wouldn't get to see his speech, especially after rain delayed the ceremony, but I drove over there and saw the town get taken over by Mariners' fans.
