By Omari Salisbury - The sun was hitting just right yesterday afternoon with the roof wide open at T-Mobile Park, setting the perfect backdrop for a day that felt more like a family reunion than a standard outing at the ballpark.

If you’ve ever walked past the corner of Dave Niehaus Way and Royal Brougham in the SODO District of Seattle, you’ve felt the energy radiating from Steelheads Alley. It’s a space designed in the spirit of Black exceptionalism.

It’s been one week since the Steelheads returned to T-Mobile Park for the Seattle Mariners’ first Steelheads Sunday of the season. Photographers Paul Sanders and Erik Kalligraphy masterfully documented the game's joy and spirit as Converge Media celebrated this historic moment in a suite filled with family and friends in true Converge style.

As the team celebrated their Salute to the Negro Leagues, the Seattle Steelheads fell to the Chicago White Sox in game two of their series, sending this to tomorrow’s rubber match. Seattle was unable to take the win in extra innings, failing to get the tying run across to keep the game going.

Members of the Circling Seattle Sports and Converge Media family were on hand for a sneak peek at the new “Hatback bar & grille” and “Steelheads alley,” right across the street from T-Mobile Park!
