"This week, I attended a minor league game for the Mariners High-A affiliate, the Everett AquaSox. Interesting Red Sox connection there-when the team left the San Francisco Giants organization for the Mariners in 1995, they wanted a rebrand. Long story short, "Sox" was appended to the initial idea for the name due to its connection to classic baseball (both Red and White Sox). I only learned that last night, even though I go to a game or two every season."
"The final score was 10-2, which makes it sound closer than it was. The home team committed five errors at one point (and the visitors, one). Young Master B and I took a walk around the stadium in the third inning and by the time we got back to our seats, one of the five errors had been rehomed in the hit column."
The Everett AquaSox, the Mariners' High-A affiliate, suffered a lopsided 10-2 defeat marked by defensive miscues. The team committed five errors early, with one later scored as a hit, avoiding a six-error total before the third inning ended. The outing featured relaxed, family-oriented attendance, with focus shifting to company and pleasant summer weather rather than the game's quality. The franchise name includes 'Sox' after the team moved from the Giants to the Mariners in 1995. Observers questioned routine plays and scoreboard procedures amid the high run totals, underscoring a chaotic but entertaining atmosphere.
