Detroit Tigers Mascot Takes Savage Shot at Seattle Seahawks During Mariners-Tigers Game
In this story:
The Detroit Tigers mascot opened up some old wounds for Seattle sports fans on Saturday afternoon, as he took a savage shot at the Seattle Seahawks and one of their Super Bowl losses.
The Tiger stood behind home plate during the bottom of the first inning with a sign that said "Should've given the ball to Marshawn," referencing the Seattle Seahawks decision to throw at the goal line of the 2015 Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. Hawks quarterback Russell Wilson was famously picked off by Patriots' DB Malcolm Butler, ending the Seahawks quest to win back-to-back Super Bowls.

The Seahawks haven't been back to the Super Bowl since and missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, though they did win 10 games in 2024.
They'll enter this season as a contender in the NFC West alongside the Rams and 49ers, who both made the playoffs last season.
As for the Mariners, they entered play on Saturday at 49-45 and in second place in the American League West, six games behind the Astros. They also entered at 0.5 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays in the battle for the third and final wild card spot.
The M's will finish out the series with the Tigers on Sunday afternoon before departing for the All-Star break. Seattle will send four players to the Midsummer Classic in Cal Raleigh, Randy Arozarena, Bryan Woo and Andres Munoz. Julio Rodriguez was elected, but won't participate.
They'll also see Raleigh participate in the Home Run Derby for the first time.
