Uncomfortable Truths About Modern Air Travel

“Sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight.” It’s getting harder and harder to do that, isn’t it? Seating is getting tighter. Bags are up to you. Costs are going up.

A Conversation With Jamie And Karen Moyer

For Seattle Mariners fans, the last decade has been a huge disappointment. In fact, the last time the team made the playoffs was in 2001. That season, the M’s won 116 regular season games – which tied the all-time record.

A huge part of their success that season was starting pitcher Jamie Moyer. The soft-tossing left hander won 20 games. He left the Mariners in 2006, but kept on playing. He won a World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008. And last year, Jamie Moyer became the oldest pitcher in major league baseball to earn a win at the age of 49. In addition to a long and prosperous baseball career, Moyer and his wife Karen have dedicated their lives to charity. They stopped by to chat about The Moyer Foundation, Jamie’s baseball career and why they still love Seattle.
