King Felix

Tonight we get to see Felix Hernandez pitch again this time against the Minnesota Twins. It is always special to see the King pitch because we have the chance to see something special.

I do not see too many teams have a section in their ballpark where fans can sit and see their star pitcher at work. Other teams would be smart to follow suit. Not only there is a section the fans can wear their King Felix t-shirt as well.

I do find it distracting sometimes when a batter is up and there are two strikes with the fans being noisy and shaking the signs but I can say I will live with it especially if the batter strikes out.  I find it most difficult is when they do it when the Mariners are behind which is not often when King Felix is pitching.

He is the best thing the Mariners have had since the Big Unit Randy Johnson. Some day we will see King Felix in Cooperstown as well. Of course, it will be for some time. Hopefully we will see King Felix pitching in the playoffs just like Big Unit. This time we can see him in the World Series which we never got a chance with the Big Unit.

What really makes Felix special besides being the best pitcher around he wants to be in Seattle. We now have the missing parts that can make it happen. We can only hope the rest of the pitching besides J.A. Happ and Felix can come alive.

The best part is that Felix is only twenty-nine years old so his best pitching maybe a head of him. This makes him special as well because most pitchers are starting to get going and he has been going for a long time. Remember the Big Unit had not figured it out when he was twenty-nine.

So King Felix we look forward to tonight and many starts in the future. We hope you can lead us to the promise land for many years. We know every night is a special night.
