Mariners In New York City
It was a busy day for several Mariners players prior to tonight’s game vs. the Yankees. Four players (Tom Wilhelmsen, Charlie Furbush, Lucas Luetge, Brandon Maurer) took over the MLB Fan Cave, and Michael Morse and Raul Ibanez were guests at the MLB.com headquarters to participate in the Edward Jones Chatting Cage.
We’ll post some video and more photos of the two visits later, but here a few quick pics of the guys from this morning.

Here are today’s Game Notes, Statistics & Lineup Card:
New York Times Features Felix Hernandez
Felix Hernandez will face off against fellow Cy Young Award winner CC Sabathia tonight at Yankee Stadium (4:05 pm PT/7:05 pm ET). Felix has been fabulous in five career starts at the new Yankee Stadium, going 4-1 with a 1.31 ERA and a pair of 2-hit shutouts. Greg Bishop, a former writer for the Seattle Times, wrote a nice feature on Felix for this morning’s edition of The New York Times.
Mariners Honorary Bat Girl
Honorary Bat Girl Kimberly Fugere, her husband Ross, and Dustin Ackley pose for a pregame photo.
It was quite a Mother’s Day for 32-year old Kimberly Fugere of Renton. She got a personalize Mariners jersey, met Dustin Ackley and Brandon Maurer, oh, and she threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Mariners vs. Oakland A’s game on Sunday.
Fugere is the Mariners 2013 Honorary Bat Girl, one of 30 across Major League Baseball. Kimberly is also a breast cancer survivor. Two years ago, the 32-year old Fugere was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. In the years since, it has spread to her brain and lungs. Two months ago, she underwent brain surgery.
Through it all, Fugere maintains a prositive outlook and is focused on getting well and being a wife to husband Ross and mom to her two children, ages six and three.
The Mariners and Major League Baseball are proud to salute Kimberly Fugere, and all those whose lives have been touched by cancer.
The Honorary Bat Girl program was introduced by MLB in 2009 to raise additional awareness and support for the annual “Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer” initiative celebrated on Mother’s Day.
The pink Louisville Slugger bats used by players in Sunday’s game will be auctioned off on MLB.com to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. And fans can order their own hot-pink Louisville Slugger at shop.mlb.com or sluggergifts.com.
Game-used baseballs with pink stitching will be auctioned on MLB.com to raise money for cancer research.

#VoteMariners – All-Star Voting
All-Star voting for the 2013 Midsummer Classic is underway, and there are a number of ways you can vote for your favorite Mariners players.
At Safeco Field, there is a balloting station in Section 141 that opens when the games open and closes during the middle of the 8th innings. There are several contests you can participate in at the Voting Station, including the following:
- Fans are given two minutes to punch as many ballots as they can. The winner of each two-minute challenge will be put on the leader board if his/her score beats the previous contestant that’s listed on the board. At the middle of the 7th inning, the name of the person on the leader board will win two tickets to attend the June 12th Mariners game to compete in a “vote off” with winners from April 25 – June 11 participating. The winner of the “vote off” will receive four main level seats to a mutually agreeable game, the opportunity to watch batting practice from the field and a photo with a Mariners player. Fans are encouraged to “Vote Mariners” and if they vote all Mariners on the AL side of the ballot, the completed ballot will count for two ballots completed.
- Ceremonial First Pitch
- Fans that turn in 25+ completed ballots to the All-Star Balloting station at section 141 will be entered into a drawing for a chance to throw out the Ceremonial First Pitch on Tuesday, June 25.
There will also be an All-Star Ballot Party in The ‘Pen on June 7. Mariners Navigators will be in The ‘Pen from 4:40-6:30 prior to the Mariners game vs. the Yankees encouraging fans to vote. Fans that fill out 10+ ballots (voting for Mariners, of course!) will be entered to win two front row tickets to a mutually agreeable game. The fan that fills out the most ballots (again, voting for Mariners players!) in The ‘Pen from 4:40 – 6:30 will receive two tickets to the All-Star Club for a mutually agreeable game.
Fans are also encouraged to “Vote Mariners” at Mariners.com/Vote. Fans can vote up to 25 times and they’ll be automatically entered to win two All-Star Club tickets and a Felix Hernandez autographed baseball.

Mariners All-Access – Down on the Farm
This week, Mariners All Access from ROOT Sports takes a road trip to Tacoma to focus on the Rainiers.
Jen Mueller takes a look at team chemistry and how important it is to winning.
Top prospect Nick Franklin has a reputation for being the clubhouse clown. Jen spends a little time getting to know him and gaining insight into his personality. Franklin also offers some observations about his infield mates, who all sport beards.
Catcher Mike Zunino, the Mariners 1st Round draft pick, made an impression during Spring Training, and he got off to a hot offensive start in April. In addition, he’s been making strides handling the pitching staff. Jen talk to him about how he’s making the adjustment from college ball to the pros, and interviews the pitchers about working with Zunino.
And Jen turns the tables by asking the Rainiers what they want to know about the Big Leagues. See how much they know about the Safeco Field and the Mariners.
Tune into ROOT Sports at noon on Sunday, before the Mariners take on the Oakland A’s, for the debut of this edition of Mariners All Access. It will be replayed at 11 am Friday.
