I was commissioned to create a series of artworks integrated into the fences and gates of Safeco Field, the home of the Seattle Mariners. I chose to work with imaginary historical ballplayers- because I think the uniforms look better- I cant stand doubleknits, myself. These life size figures are water jet cut from stainless steel and welded into the gates in a dozen places around the stadium.

At the northwest entry to the stadium, 10 players
are arranged with a batter hitting a ball which arcs above the sign
and is caught by an outfielder.

| Along the railroad tracks on the north east corner, a solitary batter hits 5 balls, each represented by a curving arc of pipe. At the end of each is a plaque describing the hit. |
5 catchers are built into the gates as you enter
from the parking garage at the south east corner.

8 pitchers are welded into the gates along Royal Brougham Boulevard, on the north side of the stadium. | ||||
