Ironically, I put Seattle knowing it was wrong, as I remember a big kerfuffle in 2000 when Alex Rodriguez left the Mariners at the same time that Boeing left Seattle -- it was suggested he had been used to attempt to persuade Boeing execs to relocate to Texas at the same time A-Rod went to the Rangers. |
