With Tim Lopes out, Ryan Court to make MLB debut for Mariners
Ryan Court pulled up to the parking garage of T-Mobile Park on Friday afternoon. His life forever changed. He hadn’t slept the night before. How could he? And finally, the enormity of the situation hit him. An impossible dream was achieved. Exhausted and excited, he broke down into tears.
“You pull in and you see the stadium and you’re like, ‘Holy cow, this is home now,” Court said.
On Thursday, he finally got the call he’d been waiting for but wasn’t expecting. Tacoma manager Daren Brown gave him the news. He was being called up to make his big-league debut for the Mariners.
