SEATTLE -- When Jim Brower interviewed with the Mariners last winter for a coaching vacancy on Scott Servais' staff, something caught his eye as he was leaving Safeco Field. A flyer on the wall, promoting the club's annual Cystic Fibrosis Foundation golf tournament, jumped out like a beacon of light.
Though he hadn't yet been hired, Brower immediately called his wife, Jessica, and told her he was in the right place.
Helping raise funds to find a cure for the difficult childhood disease has been part of the Mariners' fabric for decades. The club held its 33rd annual Cystic Fibrosis Mariners Care Golf Tournament on Monday at Broadmoor Golf Club.
