The Kingdome (Seattle Mariners)

This is the old Mariners stadium that was in obvious need of replacement. I went to at least two games here, maybe three. I can't quite remember. Whenever we came we always sat out in the right field seats, behind Jay Buhner.

The only game that I clearly remember was a doozy. Randy Johnson was on his "A-game" and had only given up two hits through six shoutout innings. Unfortunately, he hurt his finger and had to be pulled from the game after six. He had struck out eight batters. Edgar Martinez hit a solo blast to left-center in the 4th for the game's only run, a 1-0 M's victory. It was a really fun game, but too bad The Big Unit didn't get to pitch further into the game.

I also remember a near fight after the game when a fan got upset at a smoking fan for blowing cigarette smoke in his face while the packed crowd was filing out of the stadium. Good times.

Here is the box score:
