Seattle Mariners 'Favorite Things' Auction

“Fina11y,” “Vogel-bomb,” “Doggies & Double Plays” and “The West Seattle Way” are some of the themes for this year’s annual Favorite Things silent auction by the Mariners Wives Charities.

Mariners players collected some of their favorite things, everything from movies and music to wine, snacks and hobbies. They also included a trove of autographed items, many game-used. This year’s offerings also include nine bonus collections themed around the Seattle Storm and Reign FC, Washington wines and Mariners broadcasters.
