Surely this won’t be the first time the Vanilla Missile is featured here.

In Lookout Landing Land...

• It’s just really great to be a Mariners fan right now.

• Be honest, this is you.

In Mariners Land...

• He wasn’t the Mariners’ first pick, but Walter “Vanilla Missile” Ford might just have the most personality of the bunch.

• JRod curated a selection of his favorite photos from All-Star Game festivities.

• Before the ASG break, though, there was a fun little surprise for Ty France a few moments before last Sunday’s game.

• Not everyone can make the All-Star squad, but everyone can take advantage of almost a week off, including Paul and Molly Sewald who took their daughter to Whistler, Canada.

• Matt Festa hit the links.

• Penn Murfee cruised around Lake Coeur d’Alene (which I absolutely did not have to Google to remember how to spell...)

• Jesse Winker spent a little time with the Wee Little Winker.

• Marco was teaching his daughter how to swing a golf club (with questionable success, I’m sure)

• Minor Leaguers got some time off, too. Harry Ford did a very cool thing and went hiking at Yosemite National Park.

• Noelvi was in...Boston?

• And to bring it full circle, Sam Carlson spent his ASG break...at the ASG.

In Baseball Land...

• Everyone’s favorite Dodger, JoJo Siwa, took a swing at her own Sam Haggerty impression and hit an inside-the-parker in the Celebrity All-Star Softball Game.

• The second-best first basemen in the American League, Vlad Jr., got to meet a fan this week.

• Ex-Mariner and my exact-same-birthday twin, Edwin Diaz, got to bring his son to the festivities this year, fun!
