SEATTLE — A Seattle woman celebrated her 101st birthday by throwing out the first pitch at the Mariners game. Mabel Cross had planned to go skydiving for her 100th birthday, but health issues derailed her plans. A year later, her family asked her what she'd like to do. Her response? "I'd like to be a pitcher". Mabel's family got in touch with the Seattle Mariners, who invited her to T-Mobile Park to perform the special honor. Dressed in an M's jersey adorned with her last name and "101", Mabel jogged onto the field while waving happily to the crowd who cheered her on.
