One of Seattle’s other professional sports teams, the Seattle Mariners, made an interesting coaching move today. They fired their hitting coach and replaced him with none-other than Edgar Martinez. The should-be Hall of Famer is in uniform and making his coaching debut as I type this.
Seeing this made me think: “What the Seahawks equivalent of that move would be.” That turned out to be a more difficult question than I originally thought it would be. The address for Safeco field is on Edgar Martinez Boulevard for a reason. He’s not just a legend, he’s a franchise icon.
