Ep. 31 - Baseball in Seattle: A Loyal Fan in a Fair-Weather Market with: Bill Knudsen
On this episode we are joined by lifelong baseball enthusiast, former VP of Marketing and Sales for the Seattle Mariners, Mr. Bill Knudsen. Bill takes us on a baseball journey, starting with his childhood where he watched the Seattle Rainers play and followed the great Ted Williams. We then find out how he found his way to the Mariners front office and unpacks a treasure trove of great stories from his 7+ years with the team. You’ll hear about everything from impactful community projects, landing six-figure sponsorship deals, a seat cushion promo night gone horribly wrong, an impromptu visit from former Vice President Bush and a sensational story involving George Brett and the infamous Morgana the Kissing Bandit. If you’re a true baseball fan, you’ll really enjoy this episode.
