This time last year, he was selected third overall in the MLB draft. Now he's quite close to reaching the big leagues. How will his MLB career go? Photo from Spring Training, March 2013.
Not sure about the stirrup socks and the high top cleats, but everything else was working for Vargas against the Padres...

Robert Lyle Stoddard (b. March 8, 1957 in San Jose, California) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Seattle Mariners, Detroit Tigers, San Diego Padres and Kansas City Royals.
Bob Stoddard was drafted four times. He was drafted in the 19th round of the 1975 amateur draft by the Milwaukee Brewers, in the 3rd round of the 1976 amateur draft by the Oakland Athletics and he was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the third round too in 1976, this time in a different draft (there are multiple drafts held each year). He wasn't drafted at all in 1977, and in 1978 - when he was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 10th round - he finally decided to sign.
Stoddard had spent less than four seasons in the minor leagues when he made his Major League debut on September 4, 1981, at the age of 24.
He experienced two successful seasons in 1981 and 1982, posting ERAs of 2.60 and 2.41 in each of those two seasons, respectively. In 1983, his statistics went "downhill" his win-loss record was a mediocre 9-17. After that season, his ERA reached under 3.00 only once more.
On April 18, 1986, Stoddard was traded to the San Diego Padres with a minor leaguer named Kevin Russ for outfielder Rusty Tillman.
His final game was September 19, 1987.
After retiring Stoddard opened a batting cage facility in Bellevue, Washington called STODS. He currently resides in Kirkland, Washington.

During the sixth inning or so, I walked around the stadium a bit to get some shots looking out from home plate.
(This 7393 x 2494 panorama was made up of 15 stitched shots. And, yes, that bar toward the bottom of the shot is actually perfectly straight in real life.)

A retro picture (the only one I can find) from a game at Safeco Field between the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners. The M's won in 10 innings. 3-2, I believe. This is from...2019?
Enjoy this picture, as it's the only MLB action you'll be seeing anytime soon thanks to the idiots ruining the game, and people's passion for it.

The Everett AquaSox were sporting black and orange 35th Anniversary Hats to recognize their start as the SF Giants affiliate.
I know nothing about this guy so let’s make something up. – In the off-season Mr. Cummings runs his own prop-plane business. He specializes in dusting crops. He always had the nack for planes even back when he got his start with the Penisula Pilots. Now a days his business John’s Cum & Go Fertilizer is the biggest in the area. It can cover a field with hot sticky fertilizer faster than you can say corkscrew.
Yet another lazy attempt at a baseball card by O-Pee-Chee. This one might be more the fault of the photographer. Both front and back photos are really washed out. The pose of the front card is awkward since we don’t see what he I doing with his arms. My suspicion is that it was a much nicer and wider shot and a crack pot marketing guy edited it down to what we see. I’d be upset if I were the photographer. The back of the card is shot in a poorly chosen location. Is in the back alley, as if he were sneaking into the game. Just weird.
Rating - F
Hits -
-With a name like Cummings…
-You know when you put Cummings in the game…
-Well Cummings had a quick inning in the 4th…
Misses -
-Double portraits on the card.
-Back alley background.
-Needs a cool nickname.

Pitches the 21st perfect game in MLB history... 27 Mariners up, 27 Mariners down... Today was a great illustration of why baseball is the best sport ever. It started off as just another date on the 162 game schedule, one that wouldn't merit a second thought, between two middling teams, and ends up as a piece of history. And the star is a 29 year old journeyman pitcher, who now has a spot in the Hall of Fame...
Janet noticed Gamel's long locks while watching on television the previous night. I didn't know until editing this photo that they both have red hair (hers is now considerable shorter).

Since the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners are in the same division in the Major Leagues, I was able to see Ichiro play a number of times. He is truly deserving of the Hall of Fame.
Como los Rangers de Texas y los Marineros de Seattle están en la misma división en las Ligas Mayores de Béisbol, podía ver a Ichiro jugar varias veces. Sin duda, se le merece estar en la Sala de Fama de Béisbol.
