Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates!

Those of you who know me may know that I was born just outside of the Seattle area, and I have been a Seattle sports fan throughout my entire life, through the good times and bad. "Fly, Fly Away!" was one of legendary Seattle Mariners broadcaster, Dave Niehaus' famous taglines along with "My Oh My!" and "Get out the rye bread and mustard grandma, it's grand salami time!"

Solve the puzzle below regarding Seattle Mariners history to get the coordinates for the cache.

N36 46.ABC W076 1D.EFG


A) Ichiro Suzuki holds the major league record for the most consecutive 200+ hit seasons. How many seasons? (Take that number and divide it by 2 to get A)

B) The first digit in the number of home runs "The Kid" hit during the 1997 and 1998 seasons.

C) During Game 5 of the 1995 ALDS, Edgar Martinez hit "The Double" that would send the Mariners to the ALCS. How many runs scored as a result of "The Double"?

D) During the 2000 ALDS, Carlos Guillen laid down "The Bunt" to send the Mariners to the ALCS. How many runs did the Mariners score in that game?

E) The Mariners set a major league record of 116 wins in 200E (they haven't come close to that since).

F) The Mariners threw a combined no-hitter the same year Felix Hernandex completed the first Perfect Game in Mariners history. How many pitchers did they use in the no-hitter? (Take that number and add 1 to get F).

G) How many games did it take for the first home-run to be hit at Safeco Field?

Cache is a medium-sized sized lock-n-lock in City View Park. No caching after dark! FTF gets an unactivated 11th Annual GCHR Picnic Geocoin.

Congratulations WB6NVY and CaliDev on FTF!
Happy hunting!
