Every year, the Seattle Mariners get ready for the season by enlisting the services of several team members to do adverstising spots on FSN Northwest. This has been a tradition going back many years, and this year being the Mariners' 30th anniversary, the team went all out with 7 new commercials for the '07 campaign, one of which features the lovable furry mascot, Mariner Moose. The link below will take you to the Mariners Fan Forum page, where the last 5 seasons' worth of commercials are archived. They are all pretty hilarious and deserve a look-see.
Mariners Baseball...my, oh my.
touch with baseball when his childhood heroes Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, and Jim Gantner retired but the Great Home Run Chase of 1998 reignited his passion. As a student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Erik became involved with the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity. With this group Erik traveled to Portland, OR and Baltimore, MD to work on construction projects and help the group raise $25,000 to partially sponsor a house in Milwaukee. Also at UWM, Erik met Peter Nagel. The two attended their first Brewers game together during Opening Weekend 2003. Despite their failure to ignite the coals at their first tailgate, the two had a blast and were soon making weekly trips to the ballpark. Erik has gone on to several colleges and changed careers several times, and has moved all the way out to New Hampshire, but has always stayed true to his baseball roots by holding part-time stadium usher jobs. To this day he looks back fondly on his incredible cross-country journey.
