Whitman County Gazette • Thursday, June 21, 2018 • PAGE 7 OPINION

Whoa back, Mariners The hard charge to date by the Seattle Mariners has left more than a few of their fans in the dust, or maybe the infield dirt. Longtime Mariner loyalists need time to catch up. It's like needing reverse attitude adjust- ment. The Ms are winning at a torrid pace, and veteran fans have trouble accepting, or maybe trusting, what has happened. Many long-suffering Ms' fans feel more that a little nervous. This could be some of an extended MLB scheme. Maybe a Charlie-Brown-tries-to-kick-the-football- thing. The Mariners have not been in the playoffs since 2001, and they were not real- ly predicted to be in the hunt this year. Pre-season predictons centered on the team's "aging nucleus." Felix in decline since the 2014 run. Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz in the mid-30s. And, at the start, there was Ichiro. Sportsline pegged the Mariners' playoff chances at 21.6 percent with maybe 80 wins. For baseball fans in the Northwest, the start of another Mariners' season has sort of been like facing the opening day of fishing season with the same cluttered tackle box that saw little use the previous season. As of Tuesday, the Ms had a 46-26 record after rolling a 23-9 charge since the middle of May. They top MLB in one-run wins, one-run games and comeback wins.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver * It was noted 20th- century American novelist, short story writer and jour- nalist Ernest Hemingway who made the following sage observation: “When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead.”

* You might be sur- prised to learn that the largest irrigated crop in the United States isn’t soy- beans, wheat or even corn; it’s grass — mostly in lawns, parks and golf courses.

* The next time you see a shampoo commercial and note how creamy and frothy the lather seems to be, keep this in mind: The model in the advertisement probably has either laundry deter- gent or frothed egg whites on her hair.

* You may be among those people who think good deeds and selfless acts are on the decline. If so, consid- er this story: In 2010, an employee at a recycling company came across 23 U.S. savings bonds while sorting through a bin of dis- carded papers. Instead of trying to cash the $22,000 worth of bonds himself, Mike Rodgers decided to track down the owner. It turned out that the woman who had bought the bonds, Martha Dobbins, had been dead for almost two decades. Rodgers didn’t give up, though; he began a search for Robert Roberts, who was also named on the bonds. Though the name is common and Rodgers hit many dead ends, he eventu- ally located the correct Robert Roberts, the son of Martha Dobbins. Roberts hadn’t even been aware of the bonds’ existence. Rodgers, his good deed finally being done, refused a reward.

* Ever wonder what the opposite of reverse is? It’s obverse — the front or principal part of an object. On a coin, for instance, the obverse is “heads” and the reverse is “tails.”
