Sure you are, Chris — you should go for it. Never too late. I think it’s a great idea, and marketable. Glad the story resonated with you. I was proud of it, because it wasn’t easy to arrange.

This was a memorable story for me. Ryan got very emotional talking about his standout exhibition game against the Phillies at the Kingdome. Quite poignant.

Inside the room: Edgar Martinez brings his trademark cool to Hall of Fame moment Not even 10 long years of waiting for his Cooperstown call could crack the Mariners DH's stoic facade, but two disparate places — Seattle and Puerto Rico — are doing all the whooping and hollering for him.

One of my favorite columns of my career: Being in the room when Edgar Martinez got his Hall of Fame call

My Hall of Fame vote. Attention, @notmrtibbs.com

I’ll never forget Sandy standing in the back of the room, arms folded and a grim look on his face, during Kevin Brown’s introductory press conference after he signed with the Dodgers at the 1998 winter meetings. Sandy was sure that deal (7 years, $105 million) was the ruination of baseball.

Jake Paul is listed as fighting out of Dorado, Puerto Rico, which as any #Mariners fan can tell you has a far more prestigious claim to fame as the hometown of Edgar Martinez.

Howdy. Giving this place a try.
