"You, Who marks the sparrow's fall... Look Kindly on our Love tonight, and Bless Us Every One"
I'm grateful for the superb athletes that compete so hard through a long season in the wonderful game of baseball; who give us such pleasure in both their successes and their failures. May we be forgiving of the latter even as we hope to rejoice in more of the former. From the memory of the depths of Figgins, let us have hope in Haniger, Segura, Vogelbach, Felix, Kuma, Seager, Cano, Cruz, and all the others here and to come, to bring a title to Seattle. But we ask a blessing most of all for health both to the players and their families, but also those associated with the game, such as Mel Stottlemyre, sr., and Braden Bishop's mom, as they struggle.
I'm grateful for my family and the abundance of this country. I'm grateful for the members of the military, my former colleagues and friends, including my own daughter, who keep us secure. And also tonight....

We may choose something like a Star, to stay our minds on, and be stayed."
