    Must be Thanksgiving. Just in time for the worst weather of the year, the Seattle Mariners spring training schedule is out.

    Their 25-game Cactus League schedule begins with a pair of contests against the Oakland Athletics March 2-3. The opener will be held in Phoenix, training site of the A’s, and the second game will be played in Peoria, training home of the Mariners.

    The Mariners will take a break from Cactus League play March 22, when they travel to Japan to commence the 2012 major league season March 28-29, also against Oakland. Both games will be held in the Tokyo Dome and will start at 3:05 a.m., Seattle time. The Mariners will return to Arizona and resume Cactus League play.

    This year will mark the 19th spring that the Mariners have trained at the Peoria Sports Complex (36th overall in Arizona).

    Pitchers and catchers will report to spring training Feb. 11 (physicals) and hold first workouts Feb. 12. Position players will report Feb. 17 and the first full-squad workout will be Feb. 18.

    The Mariners will hold a workout April 5 at the Oakland Coliseum. The regular season resume for the Mariners April 6 at Oakland against the Athletics.

      What a great article!  What I remember about Kitna was he was always a good gentleman as well as a quarterback.  He seemed to make the most out of what gifts he was given, and will be able to walk away from the game with his head held high.  I’m sure his family is proud of him, as well as all the State of Washington football fans should be for him.  All the very best to you and your future Jon Kitna!

      Wrong on a point…A Port Angeles born Pullman raised QB product threw for more yards than Kitna, Bledsoe, and Chandler…Nane: John Elway..

      Nice article, although I think that ranking Warren Moon above Kurt Warner is an error.
