Description
Cooper Hummel, 28, is having a big Spring Training. The switch-hitting catcher and outfielder spent the first seven years of his major league career playing for the Brewers and Diamondbacks, but now he's playing for the team he grew up watching.
"Ever since I remember I had a Mariners T-shirt on or a jersey or a Mariners hat," Hummel said.
Hummel grew up in Portland and spent many days driving north with the family to watch his favorite team.
"I love the Mariners. I love baseball, I couldn't get enough and my parents fed the monster as much as he wanted to be fed. It was Mariners and it was baseball, I had every player's T-shirt you could imagine," he said.
Hummel also had a Mariners-themed bedroom.
"This is my team. My bedroom had a Seattle Mariners logo on it, and I had a Seattle Mariners bedspread."
