Mariners Moose Tracks, 9/24/24: Ichiro Suzuki, Jackson Jobe, and Charlie Blackmon
Chuck Nazty calls it a career.
Hello friends. Let’s check out the latest around the league.
In Mariners news...
- Julio Rodríguez was named the American League Player of the Week!
- I’m fully convinced Ichiro will be able to do this when he’s 90.

Leo Jiménez and José Caballero both grew up in Las Tablas, Panama
Caballero was also Bowden Francis’ shortstop at Chipola College, and both players were drafted in the 7th round in 2017.
Today, they exchanged jerseys and shared memories. pic.twitter.com/Ll4c5HXTqN
- Oh, the Orioles.
The fact that the “rookie dress up flight” was not a charter flight, and instead was a PUBLIC AMTRAK RIDE on a packed train where they had to walk through Penn Station to board makes it even more magical. pic.twitter.com/aj8K4Gwqz2

Anders’ picks...
- A super cool story. As always, #BringBackTheSonics.
- Shout out to the Seahawks and our very own Jake Parr!
Our @Seahawks have pushed to a 3-0 record, as a strong defensive effort and an offense that did enough despite sloppy play beat the @MiamiDolphins.@jakebparr's debut article as our Seahawks beat writer: https://t.co/n9ia7ove0s#Seahawks #FinsUp #NFL
