    I was in town on vacation. Went to the game Tuesday night, and decided to go again Wednesday. Almost bought an outfield seat, but instead splurged on a ticket 18 rows behind the plate. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made….a true performance for the ages. Thanks for the magic. I’ll never forget it.

    Mr. Hernandez, or should I call you King? Congrats on the Perfecto! I’ve been a fan since I was a young kid. I’ve had the joy of watching many M’s games, and watching you is an AWESOME thing. I’m glad you are a Mariner. I didn’t get to watch the game(I’m in the Air Force and currently deployed), but I listened to every pitch. I didn’t move out of my chair until the final called strike! Your game is up there with the other M’s greats! Again Congratulations and I look forward to watching/listening to many more games.

    Felix, I have been a baseball fan for over 40 years, and a Mariners fan all of their history. I consider myself familiar with most of the great ball players in MLB history and you are one of the best. I believe you could end your career, may that be a long time from now, being known as one of the elite pitchers of ALL time. Your perfect game showed that. I hope you spend your entire career in Mariners uniform. The Pacific Northwest is totally in support of you and I enjoy watching every time your on the mound. As for your perfect game? WELL DONE! Well done indeed. We all love having you here and enjoy your affection toward the fans. Good luck chasing the Cy Young this year.

    Dear Felix, There are very few baseball players who compete at the level that you do, and even fewer who have the personality and character to make them a hero to the city they compete in. You have the distinction of being in the smallest group of all–those who do both. Every time Mariners fans hear you say you want to stay here, you just remind us of how much affection and adulation we really feel towards you (which is a lot, and you deserve every bit of it). And now we have this perfect game to share with you. Thank you for being a Mariner, thank you for being a great person, and also thank you for being a great ballplayer. You are truly unique, and my only wish for you right now is that you are reunited with your wife and children soon. Have a great season, and a great career. We will be rooting for you.

    Felix, I have been following the Mariners for my entire life (I’m 22) and needless to sa there have been more downs than ups. However, watching you has definitely been one of the more enjoyable moments I’ve had as a fan. Not only are you an amazing pitcher, but a class act and everything that the face of a franchise is supposed to be. Congratulations on your perfect game, nobody deserves it more than you.

    Congrats King Felix. Every time you go out to pitch you’ve got the potential to throw a no no. I’m happy that you’ve finally done it. Especially in a Mariners uniform. Thank you!

    We’re so happy for you and proud that you are a Mariner. You were so sweet during your interview because you said you did it for us – your fans. I’ve been in the King’s Court earlier this year – the most fun I’ve ever had at Safeco!!

    Congratulatins Felix!!! You truly lived up to your nickname “King Felix”. My 13 year old son and I were there and were members of your kings court. We live on the Oregon coast and pick a game a year to attend and wanted to be part of your court again ( we were there last year) and enjoyed every minute. Great game, great time, and great memories. Thanks!!!!

    King Felix– there has not been a greater moment in Mariners’ history since “the Double” in ’95. In the first inning i could see you had great stuff and it looked like you would shut down the Rays, but this was AWESOME. I bow to the King!!
    All Hail King Fifi!!!!

    Thank you, Felix, for one of the best sports memories of my life. I’m a die hard Mariners fan since way back when Ken Griffey, Jr. started playing for the M’s, and I’ve managed to convert my husband to a Mariners fan even though he’s from LA! We are all so proud of you, and please, just don’t let the Yankees take you!
