But unbeknown to Cameron, the man presenting the Mariners lineup card would be his father, Mike Cameron, who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball with eight teams, was a three-time Gold Glove outfielder and 2001 All-Star. The elder Cameron is currently the special assignment coach for Mariners, the franchise for which he played from 2000 to 2003.
“Nothing beats an actual regular-season big league game,” he continued. “To see him on the field, shake his hand and talk to him for a little bit before the game and exchange cards, that was cool to do.”“It was a casual talk,” Daz said. “After we exchanged cards, we said good luck to each other. The umpires were standing around just laughing.”
