Crue Seager, Kyle’s son, threw out the first pitch for the last Seattle Mariners game of the season, and Kyle was given the third base that was used in the game as a keepsake.
Seager, who played at Northwest Cabarrus and for the Kannapolis American Legion team, has played 11 seasons for the Mariners, but probably will be on a new team next season. Seattle has an option to retain him for the 2022 season but is unlikely to use it.
The third baseman, who turns 34 next month, shouldn’t have any trouble securing a contract with a new club after hitting 35 homers and driving in 101 runs this season.
He’s been an All-Star and a Gold Glove winner. He’s third in the history of the Seattle franchise in doubles and fourth in games played, hits, homers and RBIs.
