For days when the hunger of the Seattle sports fan was as obvious as the blue skies that kissed this day. Days when the love can pour down from the upper deck and the hope can hang like a cumulus cloud. Reynolds told Griffey to come back to Seattle because despite what almost every other pundit would have him believe the Mariners could be competitive in the American League West this season.
