Comments from Jonathan Bach:

I wanted to express my gratitude to BLUE for Kids for giving Michael the experience of meeting Mr. Holbrook. BLUE for Kids allowed Michael to have a once in a life time opportunity along with being able to share it with his best friend Squeal. Thanks again for your positive outreach to the city of Seattle.

Comments from Bryan Moran:

I just want to thank you for the opportunity to go on the field, meet the umpires, and enjoy the Mariners game. Evan and I had a great time and the Mariners won!
