Mariners Find Snow On The Road

Football game, yea. But how many times do you see snow at a baseball game?  

This was, of course, Denver and it may be forgotten when the team plays the Texas teams in the middle of the summer.

The Mariners won that game (Saturday, April 20th, 2024) 7-0 over the Colorado Rockies.

RIP Roman Gabriel

 One of my childhood heroes has passed away, Roman Gabriel who quarterbacked the Los Angeles Rams from 1962-1972 passed away this morning (April 20th, 2024), according to son, Roman Gabriel III.  

When I first watched football in 1967, Seattle did not have a team (and wouldn't for another 10 years).  The Rams were on TV practically every week, so I quickly became a Ram fan.  I loved his name (perfect for the LA Colosseum  where the team played its home games.  

It was an era of great quarterbacks as Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas, and Joe Namath also played in that era. 

Gabriel was the NFL's first Filipino American quarterback.  A two time All-American at North Carolina State, he finished his NFL career as a Philadelphia Eagle in 1977.

It brought back memories of my childhood.
