Pitcher Kevin Appier, attempting a comeback with the Mariners at age 38, laughs while recalling his first encounter with Seattle's new catcher.

 

"The first thing he said to me was, 'I watched you all the time when I was a kid,'" Appier says. "I was like, 'You little [expletive].' "

Awesome article. I liked his press conference the best:

 

"How is everybody? How are you doing?" Johjima asked the assembled crowd. "Thank you for coming today. My name is Kenji Johjima, from Sasebo, Japan. I am very happy to sign with Mariners. I like Seattle city and Safeco Field. I love baseball. I want to succeed in the big leagues. Thank you."
