Seattle — The record will forever show that Max Clark made his Major League debut in Sacramento last weekend.
But his real big-league debut, in an actual big-league stadium, was here Tuesday, at T-Mobile Park, complete with three decks, brighter lights and a retractable roof. And some real big-league amenities. Like when he came to bat in the second inning and Mariners' All-Star catcher Cal Raleigh congratulated him on being called up.
Like, before the game, when his jaw nearly dropped to the ground when he walked out onto the field for the first time and saw one of his childhood idols ****** baseballs in center field — Hall-of-Famer Ichiro Suzuki.
"That was actually like my first, 'Oh my God' moment when I walked on the field yesterday," Clark said. "It was a very surreal moment walking out there and seeing him still taking BP and throwing. Just unbelievable. You see this huge stadium and then in center field, Ichiro is tracking ****** ."
Clark reached into his locker and, with a proud smile on his face, produced his most recent prized possession — a freshly autographed Ichiro game jersey.
