Presidential Pitch

On August 8, greater than 900 Seattle College college students, alumni, employees, school and buddies converged on T-Cell Park to catch the Seattle Mariners tackle East Coast rivals the New York Yankees and, notably, to have a good time President Eduardo Peñalver throwing out the primary pitch.

Offered by the Seattle College Alumni Affiliation (SUAA), “SU Evening on the Mariners” had Redhawks—together with our very personal Rudy hanging with the Mariners Moose—exhibiting their delight for not solely their faculty but in addition in help of President Peñalver, a diehard M’s fan, who mingled with the group following his momentous second on the mound.

A couple of extra notes from the night time:

• President Peñalver’s son Jai served as his dad’s catcher!
• Rudy the Redhawk was on the scene on the pregame reception, situated on the Rooftop Boardwalk, and on the sphere earlier than the sport.
• Workers from the SUAA, Albers and GOLD (Graduates of the Final Decade) alumni board members visited with alumni and buddies and their households all through the night.
