A couple of weeks ago, in Boston, both the Red Sox and Mariners were dealing with an intense sun field, and Seattle lost a 2-1 game when Ichiro Suzuki said he couldn't see a fly ball to right. The ball bounced off his thigh for a triple, and two batters latter, the Sox got a walk-off, game winning hit from Carl Crawford.
But things even out, as the Mariners beat the Angels in Seattle Thursday when Torii Hunter lost a fly ball in the sun and what would have normally been a catch and the third out of the inning became a ball that dropped near Hunter, and the Mariners won in the ninth inning, 2-1. Outfielders had been battling the sun for at least half the game.
The weird thing about all of this is to say that the Mariners won because of the extreme
sunshine in Seattle.
