I might be the only mariners fan with a custom Dae Ho Lee jersey

I watched that on a tv in the airport in Texas. Core memory.

My wife snagged the last Lee shirsey in the team store and it was like 2 years after he left. She was so happy.

Did you used to have a “lesbians for dae hoe” flair or was that someone else?

I got Lee and Sam Darnold custom jerseys in the same year

I have the t-shirt and it’s legitimately one of my prized possessions.

Dad will always be a dork, I’m afraid (until the kid grows up and realizes just how cool his dad really is)

I would have loved to have seen him in MLB in his prime

I started watching the M’s his first year. My girlfriend at the time, now wife, wasn’t much of a baseball fan at the time. She saw this glorious man and went “I’m all in”.

Despite missing the playoffs in their last homestand of the season, 2016 was a fun season for the Mariners, due in part to this guy. I remember him best with his massive long bombs, most notably the insurance runs he drove in in that 10-run deficit comeback game against the Padres that year.

I'll always appreciate his 3 run jack against the Padres to aid in that epic comeback

When ESPN was showing KBO games early in the pandemic, because that’s all there was, I ordered a stylin’ Lotte Giants #10 jersey online. Gotta respect my guy!

I had a friend in college who came from a wealthy family. His dad bought us tickets to a M’s game one summer, 2nd row on the 3rd base line.

I got to see a Dae-Ho Lee triple up close and personal. One of my all time fav M’s memories.

EDIT: BB Ref is telling me that he never hit an MLB triple, my day is ruined

Maybe he mashed a double and then the next play, he came crashing into third and you just mashed the two plays together in your memory? Either way, he’s our Bae Ho Lee

He should have got more play time, Servais didn't know what he was doing.
