I don’t know why, but the news that Nintendo has upped its stake in the Seattle Mariners amuses me greatly. I guess I just like the idea of Bret Boone striding to the plate accompanied by that famous duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh! theme to Super Mario Brothers. Or Ichiro’s stealing a base accompanied by the “boing” jumping sound.
Now that I think about it…. Mario would get suddenly bigger, and then be prone to weird moments of rage where he would destroy everything he touched…. wait a minute, I think Mario was on the juice!
