Baseball Is Back: Besa Gordon Highlights Seattle’s Mariners Season and Community Stories on Back2Besa
This week on Back2Besa, host Besa Gordon is tapping all the way into baseball season and what it really means for the city of Seattle—on and off the field.
With the return of the Seattle Mariners, the energy is back, and this episode takes viewers beyond the game to highlight the people, programs, and community impact surrounding it.
The show kicks off in South Seattle at the newly renovated Rainier Playfield, where a major collaboration between MLB, the Mariners, and the City of Seattle is creating real access for young athletes. From there, Besa heads to Anchorage, Alaska, where a brand-new indoor baseball facility is giving kids the opportunity to train year-round—proving that access can truly change everything.
Back in Seattle, viewers get a full look at what’s new at T-Mobile Park this season during the Mariners Food Preview. From crab nachos and brisket to local favorites and new vendors, the ballpark experience is leveling up in a major way.
The episode also highlights a powerful story of resilience with Braided and Dreaded, showing how one entrepreneur turned her life experiences into a thriving business rooted in culture and purpose.
Plus, Besa takes viewers inside the MLB ID Tour, where young athletes in the Pacific Northwest are getting exposure, resources, and opportunities that were once out of reach.
From community investments to career-changing opportunities, this episode shows that baseball is about so much more than the game—it’s about access, growth, and showing up when the moment finds you.
