SEATTLE -- Nobody does a ceremony quite like the Seattle Mariners and that was evident again on Opening Night before the game against the Cleveland Guardians . It's the 50th season of Mariners baseball and the M's made sure to honor both the past and the present in a pregame ceremony that lasted just over 30 minutes and went up until first pitch. Here are the highlights that you need to be aware of.
Segui family honored The Mariners brought back former first baseman David Segui, who delivered the game ball to the pitchers mound in honor of his father, Diego, who passed away during the offseason. Diego Segui threw the first pitch in Mariners history, back in 1977. Former #Mariners 1B David Segui delivers the game ball in honor of his father Diego, who threw the first pitch in team history.

There were big rounds of applause for former Mariners Danny Farquhar (assistant pitching coach) and Austin Nola (bullpen coach). Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez received the loudest ovation before the players were announced. There were huge ovations for several long-tenured Mariners, including George Kirby, Andres Munoz and Bryan Woo, though truthfully every player received a solid ovation.
