BH: I was a kid when the M’s moved to Safeco Field, and I can remember being very sad to see the King Dome go. However, the sadness evaporated immediately after walking through the gates at Safeco. Are you a King Dome person or do you prefer to watch a game at Safeco Field?

ME: I must confess I never warmed to the Kingdome. I don’t like indoor baseball, especially in a place such as Seattle where summer is so exquisite, and find artificial turf and affront to the sport. So, yes, you could say I prefer Safeco Field, which makes every trip to the ballpark a pleasant one, whether the M’s are winning or losing.
