In this story:

Seattle Mariners fans were so pumped on Monday night during Game 3 of the World Series. 

Why? Because former Mariners All-Star Kyle Seager was spotted at the game watching his brother Corey play for the Texas Rangers.

Popular M's "X" account @MarinerMuse posted a picture of Seager with a fan with the caption: "He looks so happy. Good for him."

This made M's fans particularly happy because Seager hasn't been seen much since he retired at the end of the 2021 season. The note about Seager looking happy is important because there were reports that Seager wasn't thrilled about how his tenure in Seattle ended. He retired young and is still just 35 years old.

One of the best players in M's history, he should be a lock for the team's Hall of Fame someday. Seager spent 11 years in the big leagues, all with the Mariners. He made the All-Star team in 2014 and won a Gold Glove that same year. Lifetime, he was a .251 hitter. He hit 242 career home runs, including popping 30 in the 2016 season and 35 in 2021. The third baseman hit 20 or more homers every year of his career except 2020, when the league only played 60 games because of the COVID pandemic.

He was also incredibly durable, playing at least 128 games in each full year of his career except two (2019 and 2020 - COVID year).

Kyle was treated to a happy memory on Monday, as Corey hit a two-run home run to help the Rangers win Game 3. They lead the World Series 2-1.
