And those were the types of kids who swarmed Safeco Field during the clubs’ Macklemore Bobblehead promotion, which featured the pop star throwing out the first pitch (complete with selfie) and providing one fan with the thrill of her life by giving her the shirt off his back after a trivia contest.
