As the Mariners lineup piled up runs from the 6th inning onward, cameras from T-Mobile Park’s watch party showed fan after fan joining in the superstitious headwear.
He said he had seen another Mariners fan in a previous game put a shoe on his head in an apparent attempt to win the baseball gods’ favor, and he figured anything could help. Soon, he wasn’t alone.“I put my left shoe onto my head and my buddy and brother-in-law Ryan looks at everything and he goes ‘what is happening,’ and I say, ‘I don’t know,’ ” Cox said. “But then the hits started coming.”
Adam Frazier, with the Mariners already trailing 4-0, got the team’s first hit of the game in the 5th inning. Frazier became the team’s first run off a Jarred Kelenic sacrifice fly later that inning. “I was on the Jumbotron and it just seemed to take flight,” he said. “Next thing you know, you look around and it looks like the entire watch party had a shoe on their head.”
Seattle matched the four-run 5th inning Toronto put together with four runs of its own off four hits, capped by Carlos Santana’s three-run home run to push the game to 8-5.
