Mariners Salute to the Negro Leagues: A look back on film

On June 18th, 2022, the Mariners took the field as the Seattle Steelheads to honor Seattle's 1946 Negro League franchise. For any assignment, I primarily stick with a digital setup.

However, Brett on the other hand 🙌🏾 let me tell you, if you're starting a brand and watch this interview without taking notes, you'll be doing yourself a disservice #YouveBeenWarned!
