Sports Illustrated recently ran an article on the all-time top sports #'s in history.......so, we thought why not do the same for Seattle. Here are some #'s that I think will be etched in Seattle fans memories forever.......
28: No, not Mr. Curt Warner, but 28 TD's that Shaun Alexander scored in 2005. I think it will take time for this record to set in, but I don't see anyone beating it anytime soon.
12: Total Gold Cups for Chip Hanauer, 7 of them in a row. Muncey finished w/ 8, Villwock has 4 currently...will there ever be another Chip?
1 Total # of Seattle Men's championships in over 30 years of participation....one that hurts most of these #'s
267: Ray Allen breaks the single season record for 3's by one player
14: Number of years it took the Mariners to post a winning record of .500 or better since the team started in 1977.
300: Gaylord Perry notches #300 while in an M's uniform
20: years in between Seahawks playoff wins....and they SHOULD have won the Superbowl had it not been for the refs
3-2: #1 seed Seattle loses playoff series to #8 Denver, who some consider the greatest upset in playoff history.
262: Ichiro breaks 84 year-old single season hits record....something I don't see anyone breaking for a while
1995: not so much a #, but a year, a year that saved Seattle baseball, that helped build Safeco, and that had the craziest baseball fans in a long, long time
80: Steve Largent, enough said
All other ideas welcome!

Last week you asked for memory's of the Pilots and gave an email address. It does not work. I wanted to respond because you ran a picture on the first game at Sick's Stadium showing a Ironworker catching the first homerun by Don Mincher. Photo by Roy Scully. That Ironworker was my Dad, George Guilmet. I would love to have that shot.
Thanks Kevin Guilmet
