The story of Seattle Mariners bullpen catcher Jason Phillips meeting his wife-to-be in the stands

By Allan

In May 2009,the Seattle Mariners bullpen catcher Jason Phillips saw an attractive woman in the stands and made a promise to the guys in the ‘pen.

“If we go extra innings, I’m gonna make a move,” Phillips said. “If we go to extra innings, that’s gotta be a sign.”

Jerry Brewer of the Seattle Times says the game went into extra innings and Phillips grabbed a baseball, scribbled his number on it and tossed the ball to the women.

After 15 innings, Phillips returned to the clubhouse and saw a text message. “My name is Molly. Nice to meet you.”

On Sunday, about an hour and a half after the game ends, Phillips and Molly Ray will get married in the bullpen at Safeco Field in Seattle.

“It kind of has to be there,” Phillip says. “It’s only right.”
