The Seattle Mariners are using a trident to help celebrate home runs together as teammates.
Brick Tamland, King Triton and the Seattle Mariners know exactly what to do with a trident.
It is a nautical scepter of elite and majestic importance. This is not just a prop; it’s a lifestyle. Although the Mariners may not have been on the cutting edge in making use of the trident, it belongs to them now. They own it. More importantly, the M’s have a damn good baseball team. With Julio Rodriguez becoming the best thing to happen to them since Ken Griffey Jr., godspeed!
Just look at this thing. Don’t act like you’re not impressed!
No apartment full of leather-bound books and rich mahogany could ever make you look this cool.
Brick killed a guy, but watch Rodriguez kill this baseball and the Seattle crowd absolutely erupt.
I didn’t think anything could eclipse the Oregon State Beavers’ celebratory chainsaw, but I stand corrected. I have never been happier to be more wrong about anything in my entire life than right now.
Seattle Mariners use a trident to celebrate home runs together to perfection
It had been a painfully long time for baseball to matter like it does now tucked up in the Pacific Northwest. The football has been good for the most part, at all levels and all sorts of pitches, fields and playing surfaces. The Kraken are starting to figure it out. Although the Sonics remain more of an idea than anything, just look at the Mariners having fun! This is what baseball is all about, man.
It is a long, 162-game season. It is an absolute grind. You are going to go on losing streaks. You will fall into a slump. You will suffer injuries. This all just comes with the territory. However, it is really cool to see full-grown men behaving like little boys in the dugout, reminding us all of why they fell in love with the sport in the first place. This was my sport as a youth, so I can’t stop from smiling.
Although parents would have been foolish to give one of my many travel teams at EastSide Baseball a trident, screwing around in the dugout was just as fun as competing with my best friends as a teenager in the hot summer sun. As we get older, we all long for those days. It doesn’t matter what generation you hail from, this trident resonates with the youthfulness of baseball.
For the love of the game, the Mariners should be allowed to use the trident until the sun explodes.
