On Friday as I began my drive home from work, I was at a stop light on Royal Brougham Way, between the stadiums and right across from the main entrance to Safeco Field.
As I waited, a big, balding man with shoulder-length white hair and a soup-strainer mustache, also white, came out of the stadium, holding a fistful of Mariners literature close to his actual vest and pocketwatch chain.
He was trim and tall in the jacket and vest of a grey tweed three-piece suit over jeans and black boots, sort of a cowboy look, sans hat. His boots were square toed and plain.
As I looked at him, I thought to myself, geez, that guy looks a lot like David Crosby. The light changed, and I dove off.
This morning, I as I read the paper, I noticed an ad for the June 6 appearance of Crosby Stills and Nash at Chateau Ste. Michelle, which features current headshots of all three musicians.
There’s no question: the guy I saw emerge from the ballpark was David Crosby, looking fit.
Now, I do hear tell that the Mariners have signed a Crosby lately. I wonder if it’s a two-fer.
