John Olerud is a Seattle sports legend: the first baseman played college baseball at Washington State and won three Gold Gloves during his five-year stint with the Mariners. And on Sunday, he participated in a Seattle sports tradition, raising the 12th man flag before the Seahawks' game against San Francisco.
