Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Tuesday, December 05, 2017Taking Back the Ballparks - Seattle MarinersPart 8: Seattle Mariners Ballpark History Built: 1999 On April 2, 2001, in the M’s first game since Alex Rodriguez left to sign a record FA deal with Texas, new Mariner Ichiro Suzuki went 2-5 with a run scored in a 5-4 win over Oakland. It was the first of a team-record 116 wins, and the first two of Suzuki’s 242 hits in his MVP season. During the 72nd MLB All-Star Game, Dodgers pitcher Chan Ho Park took requests. In 2009, Alexei Ramirez reached on a single to third on a play that sent Adrian Beltre to the disabled list with a “severely contused right testicle.” It was a play that still didn’t convince the future Hall of Famer to wear a protective cup, a very Beltrean decision. In the span of less than five months in 2012, Chicago’s Philip Humber threw a perfect game against the home team, a sextet of M’s hurlers no-hit the Dodgers (exciting catcher Jesus Montero and no one else), and Felix Hernandez tossed a perfect game against the Rays. TBtB Selections To Date:
Texas Rangers - The Ballpark in Arlington San Diego Padres - Mission Field Washington Nationals - Nationals Park Tampa Bay Rays - Suncoast Dome

1. SoSH U at work Posted: December 05, 2017 at 10:45 AM (#5586320)BEHOLD! The future of no-hitters!
Superfuzz Bigmuff Field
Stargazer Stadium
Kurt Cobain Stadium. It's exactly what he would have wanted.
It would never work, but it should. The Kid is The Man. 1990s Griffey was something else - I can only hope that one day my sons will be able to see a player that good, and that joyful.
.... Cornell, Cobain, Layne Staley, Andrew Wood.
Cascadia Field really rolls off the tongue.
Cascadia is nice, or maybe Evergreen Field.
Another possibility is Pioneer Park.
(not a joke suggestion, by the way)
But Cascadia really works.
Growing up watching Washington state tv (in Victoria), Rainier to me means a beer brand. (Remember that commercial with the motorcycle? Raaaaaaaaaneeeeeeeeer Beeeeeeeeeer)
Are you sure?
Yes, this is trivial, but it was named Sicks' Stadium when the Pilots played there. After owner Emil Sick passed away, and the Stadium was owned by multiple members of the family, they changed the name from the singular to the plural.
I have a friend, not a huge baseball fan, who attended four games in that span. Those were three of them.
I like the Cascadia Field suggestion.
I thought Nintendo still owned a 10% stake in the team?
In the renaming threads, there are no misplaced apostrophes that can be called trivial. It has been corrected.
Yeah, #4 is great.
If we were going with musical references, my suggestion would be "The Castle Made Of Sand".
"Each year the Mariners pennant plan, slips into the sea, eventually..." That slogan would move tickets, you know it would. I'd love to hear the announcers say that every game.
"The Dead Albatross" also has a certain appeal to me.
Out of all the big American cities, Seattle is the one I've been to the most. 25 years ago, I really liked it. I don't enjoy it the way I used to, maybe it's just that my friends have all moved out to the suburbs, so I spend more time in less interesting places.
I like Rainier (although like Rusty, I associate it with the beer). I like Cascadia too.
Evergreen Field could work.
A T-shirt lately popular around here inspires me to suggest Rain & Coffee & Salmon & Weed Field.
Socialist Stadium? Blue-State Bastion?
J.P. Patches Park?
There was a minor league stadium in Aberdeen WA called Electric Park, which would be a fun, steampunky name to use now.
Tahoma is the (transliterated) native name for the mountain now called Rainier.
Puget Park?
Man, I loved that show! I watched it everyday before I went to elementary school. Chris Wedes and Bob Newman were both very talented performers.
Or would that be confusing with the nearby city using the alternate spelling?
The Nintendome Switch, then.
Primey
To go with the native wildlife theme, Seagull Stadium - a flock of which used to descend on the stands for cleanup duty. Perhaps "I Ran" could be incorporated as a theme song during rallies.
Tahoma isn't bad, and Puget Park is pretty good. I'm trying really, really hard not to mention Boeing Field and Starbucks Grounds, but it's difficult :)
Naming Wrongs
I didn't even know he was Sick.
SoDo Field, after the neighborhood it's in
Safeco has been selling me insurance most of my life. I've never liked the name of the stadium as a result.
Affectionately known as “The Gar” which works due its proximity to the train station as well.
Grunge Center
Ichiro! Stadium
Emerald City Greens
I like both of those, if for some reason my nomination, "The Dead Albatross" doesn't get any traction, I could vote for either of them.
Naming Wrongs
Those are all great, but I was hoping to see one that read "I STILL CALL IT BRIGGS STADIUM".
It would be like calling the Yankees' stadium 'The Big Apple Park'
Rainier Stadium/ Tahoma Field (both sound good, but if we're gonna make that one of the choices, Tahoma sounds good and is the Native American name for the place).Cascadia Field
Nintendome Switch
Pioneer Park
Evergreen Field
Puget Park
Boeing Ballpark
This could be one of the tricker elections for sure.
The stadium is right next to the Alaskan Way Viaduct, which dominates that part of the harborfront and which is being replaced by a tunnel. I like the sound of Alaskan Way Field, and in 50 years no one will remember the elevated highway and so the name will be mysterious and interesting.
