I can't believe that June is almost over and I've only been to one Mariners so far this season! Of course, I've been busy working on this month's update and planning out the rest of the year. New are interviews with Pilots owner, Dewey Soriano; stadium commissioner, Dave Cohn; and Judge Bill Dwyer, the lead attorney in the State of Washington's lawsuit against the American League over the Pilots' move to Milwaukee. Mssrs. Cohn and Soriano had very different opinions on things, so it makes for interesting reading. I've also added a page of new images to the main Image gallery and fixed the captions and links in the Tickets gallery and added more and better quality images to the J.D. McCarthy gallery!
As I mentioned last month, during the time away, my email address was deactivated and I lost all of your messages, so please forgive me if you've tried to reach out. The account is now working, so please write and share your Pilots memories.
If you haven't yet checked out filmmaker Steve Cox's 15-minute preview of the documentary he's making about the Pilots, do it!
Thanks, Mike
