Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp showed some more love to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday afternoon during the team's Super Bowl parade through the streets of Seattle.
Just as he did before the NFC title game vs. the Los Angeles Rams, Kupp donned an incredible throwback Ken Griffey Jr. Mariners jersey. You can see the jersey in the video that Kupp posted to "X" from the parade. This jersey is different than the one that Kupp wore previously.
The Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 on Sunday in Super LX. It was the second Super Bowl championship in franchise history, as the Hawks also defeated the Denver Broncos in 2013.
A Yakima, Wash. native, Kupp played his college football for Eastern Washington. A longtime standpoint out of the Rams, he returned home this season to play with the Seahawks, becoming an integral part of the locker room.
A nine-year veteran, Kupp is a Pro Bowler and a two-time Super Bowl champ. He led the league in receiving yards, touchdowns, first downs and receptions in that 2021 title season with LA. This season, he had 47 catches, 593 yards and two touchdowns.
Kupp, who previously won Super Bowl MVP honors with the Rams, led the Seahawks in receiving on Sunday. He pulled in six catches for 61 yards. He had the longest reception of any Hawks player on the day (23 yards).
One of the best players in baseball history, Griffey was the face of baseball in the 1990s. A 22-year veteran, including 13 with the Mariners, he was a 13-time All-Star, a 10-time Gold Glover, a seven-time Silver Slugger, a three-time Home Run Derby champion and an MVP (1997). He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016, earning 99.3 percent of the vote.
He had two seasons of 50 home runs or more, including 56 in 1997. That was the M's franchise record for a single season until Cal Raleigh broke it with his 60 home run barrage in 2025.
--Mariners pitchers and catchers reported to spring training on Wednesday, but new trade acquisition Brendan Donovan is also there. The M's are going to play him at third base, which we expected.
--Manager Dan Wilson took to the podium for the first time this spring to say that the team has no unexpected injury concerns at this time. Considering what we've seen already throughout baseball, that's a good thing.
