Besa Gordon Talks Mariners, Memories, and Ballpark Vibes on FOX 13 Seattle’s Good Day Seattle

Early this morning, Back2Besa host Besa Gordon joined FOX 13 Seattle’s Chief Meteorologist Brian MacMillan live from the field at T-Mobile Park to talk about the energy surrounding the Mariners’ ALCS games and her long-standing relationship with the team.

During the segment, Besa shared how electric the atmosphere has been inside the ballpark these last two games — from fans rocking creative game-day looks to the undeniable sense of excitement in the air. She reflected on the deep connection she’s built with the Mariners over the years, which started long before Back2Besa even existed. From food previews and press events to hosting African American Heritage Night, her collaboration with the team has continued to grow in meaningful ways.

One of the standout moments Besa discussed was the emotional experience of seeing her Back2Besa “Welcome Home” Mariners themed commercial play on the T-Mobile Park big screen earlier this season. “I cried like a little baby,” she admitted, sharing how surreal it felt to watch years of hard work and partnership with the Mariners come full circle in front of thousands of fans.

And of course, the conversation wouldn’t be complete without mentioning one of Besa’s favorite ballpark must-haves — the iconic crab fries. Between laughs, she described them as perfectly seasoned and topped with a “big ol’ hunk of crab,” encouraging everyone to try them for themselves.

The segment captured both Besa’s infectious personality and her genuine love for Seattle’s home team. As she continues to represent the city through Back2Besa, moments like these remind fans just how intertwined her story is with the Mariners’ ongoing legacy of community, culture, and connection.
