Promotional giveaways are fickle things. If I wanted to cut straight to your heart, I’d name Night Court as the quintessential example. Will the player they honor be on the roster? Hurt? Cut? Bad? Entertainingly, this weekend the Mariners honored James Paxton on Felix Hernandez night, and then gave away a Félix bobblehead on James Paxton night. I’m sure James and the King played nice about it. Sometimes, though, you give away Jean Segura wristbands at juuuuuuust the right moment.
Everything about yesterday was just the right moment.
