In this story:

Sunday was a special day for the Seattle Mariners and their fans. The M's toasted the New York Mets, 12-1, as part of ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" coverage. It was the first time that Seattle had hosted the event in 20 years, and the team and city certainly didn't disappoint.

As the game unfolded, several different segments of the fanbase took to social media to express their delight, including:

Former Mariners' center fielder Mike Cameron, who helped hype up the crowd. Cameron also works as an advisor for the organization.

Great day back in PNW Sunday nite baseball lots of runs and most importantly the “W”!! Had a crazy moment watching Randy and Vic almost colliding in the outfield but they didn’t so that was good #RaiseTheTridents

Cameron, of course, is referring to the defensive play in which Randy Arozarena made a diving catch in left field, narrowly avoiding a potentially serious collision with Victor Robles.

Then there was this one, from former Seattle Seahawks quarterback and current Seattle radio host, Brock Huard:

I’ve said plenty of times on Brock & Salk that by the time you get to the pro level the “love of the game” is often lost

Watching & listening to Victor Robles you can feel his love to still play the game & his love for his new @Mariners team

That was really a fun mic’d up

Huard was talking about the now-famous "mic'd up" segment from Robles, in which he had a blast talking about his love for Seattle - and his pet monkeys. No, seriously.

And then this one, from Joe Fann, who used to be in Seattle sports media:

Please let Seattle host more playoff baseball

What an absolute vibe. Mariners fans showing out on primetime.

The Mariners are now 63-56 and will be off on Monday before taking on the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday afternoon. First pitch is set for 3:40 p.m. PT.
