Last night, I rode the light rail home amidst a crowd of jubilant Sounders fans and a few gleeful Mariners fan stragglers. A guy sits next to me, positively bedecked in Hall of Fame paraphernalia. A Hall of Fame Class of 2025 shirt, a Hall of Fame Class of 2025 hat, a Hall of Fame Class of 2025 water bottle with a specific Ichiro sticker affixed to the outside. He’s watching the postgame presser (yeah, sorry, if you sit next to me I am going to snoop a little) and later, after we disembark at the same stop, he will disappear into the night with Shannon Drayer’s postgame show floating aloud on the breeze.
