Ok Seattle sports nerds, it’s time that the Old Sport category got in on the action around here.
I received this autographed 8×10 as a Christm
as present this year. It shows 1969 Seattle Pilot Diego Segui at what looks to be a “take your children to work day.” Diego’s son, David Segui also played in the major leagues — so i wondered if that was his John Hancock over on the right. He was born in 1966 so this picture would put him at three years old.
He did wear the number 21 and
this autograph looks to be similar.
I think the mystery is solved.
Any sports nuts that can confirm this? Diego Segui played his last season in Seattle with the Mariners and son David also spent a year in Seattle.

Maybe, maybe he was, but so cute and part of one of our good seasons so we still love him.
This was pre-human-growth-hormone David Segui, so it’s anyone’s guess.
Interesting note: Diego Segui was the starting pitcher on the Mariners’ first opening night in 1977.
