What do Dodgers and Mariners have in common?

To all my legions of loyal readers, I apologize for the long stretch between posts.  Real life intervened, like it always does.  This time, most of the delays have been due to my last grandparent passing away, and the associated family times that go with that.  

It was a good experience.  He lived a good life, exactly how he wanted to.  And he was ready to go.  Many of his 28 (!!) grandchildren were able to attend the funeral, and there was a common conversation among us that this funeral, while not a party, lacked the level of sadness of many other funerals we had attended. It was kind of what I hope my funeral will be like someday, a fond remembering with tempered feelings of loss.

It was also a little weird because of covid.  We were required to distance far more than us usual at funerals.  But we just moved to a new phase here in Washington, so at least everyone was allowed to come.  If he had passed a week or two earlier, we might have had to turn away people from the event.

Anyway, grandpa was a lifelong Dodgers fan, but late in life he became a Mariners fan, mostly due to being able to watch their games every day on local channels.  He rarely missed a game over the last 5 years since grandma passed.  In honor of him, below are some randomly pulled Dodgers and Mariners cards that I own.  

To some, pairing Dodgers and Mariners might approach sacrilege, but at least you know there is a reason.

Thanks for reading and I am looking forward to reading your stuff I have missed and hopefully getting some late comments in there!
