Both My Teams Win — Dodgers #1, Mariners #2

I don’t usually step away from homicide files and case notes to write about baseball — but last night deserves a mention.

Both of my teams won — the Los Angeles Dodgers (my #1) and the Seattle Mariners (my #2) — and what a pair of games they were. The Dodgers handled business in classic Dodger Blue style: precise, poised, and powerful.

And then the Mariners — fifteen innings of pure grit. A throwback to the kind of game that tests every nerve and keeps you awake long after midnight.

For me, it’s a double win — Los Angeles roots meeting my Pacific Northwest home base. Two hometowns, two victories, and one perfect October night.

GO DODGERS!  GO MARINERS!
