community field help mind nice
It is a big honor, obviously. It's not one of those things you have in mind when you're doing things off the field to help people. It's just nice to be able to go out in the community and help kids, especially.

buying chefs eaten enjoy fine front job lamb nice people per pound reasons start taste work
One of the reasons we really like to work with chefs is, boy, they do a nice job with the food. They are doing such a fine job of introducing that lamb to a lot of people who may have never eaten it. The consumption of lamb in the U.S. is 1 pound per person per year. If you can get it out there in front of people and they taste it and enjoy it, they will start buying it.

I can't imagine what these kids have gone through. To see the courage that they have, and being positive through it, and get to the other side. First Place allows them to do that, and that's pretty powerful.

asked came community decided enjoyed great involved pointed relationship school since teacher wife
My wife (Annie) and I have been involved in First Place School for a long time, pretty much ever since we got to Seattle. That was the first (charitable) thing we did. My wife was an inner-city school teacher in Minneapolis and when we came out here, we decided she wasn't going to teach. She wanted to get involved in the community in some way. We asked the Mariners and they pointed us in that direction. It has been a great relationship since, a great fit, and we have enjoyed it.

game great hear japan matter ocean side
It's always different than when you see them in a drill, but I hear he's doing a great job. I know the game in Japan is a little different than it is here. But what's great about this game is that it's universal. It doesn't matter which side of the ocean you're on, it's the same game.
