The Retirement Of Former Mariners Shortstop Carlos Guillen
Bottom of the ninth, tied at one. One out. Runner on first and third and Lou Piniella calls Carlos Guillen to the plate. Fans in the stadium are curious but remain on their feet, cheering.

He's BACK!
Infielder Carlos Guillen, who began his major-league career with the Mariners in 1998, has signed a minor-league deal with Seattle that includes an invitation to spring training.
The Mariners have Chone Figgins and Kyle Seager in the utility role already don't they?
