Seattle...A Baseball Town News and Notes

Hungry for Music a nationwide charity raising money for underprivileged children chooses two songs, "Game of Love" and "Edgar" for inclusion on their latest edition of the Diamond Cuts series Centerfield.  Which is cool in so many ways.  Especially since Deuce always played centerfield.  They followed that up with the inclusion of Go Go Ichiro on the 9th installment Complete Game.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum accept the CD as part of the Film, Video and Sound Department, joining classic songs such as "Take Me Out to the Ballgame", "Say Hey Willie" and "Talkin' Baseball".
     All objects submitted for acquisition are reviewed by members of the Museum's Accessions Committee, which is charged with accepting only those items of historic significance which support the Museum's education and exhibit programs. Only after this group gives its approval do submitted objects become registered artifacts.
     Many great and unheralded Mariners are immortalized in song and now, they’re finally in the Hall of Fame.

Edgar Martinez announced he is retiring at the end of the 2004 season.  The changing of the guard has really begun.  The new era is in full swing and the CD takes on a new role.  We're marking a place in time, a look back at the first 27 years.  Things will never be the same. 
                          Thanks for everything Edgar!
