What does baseball have in common with a touring stand-up comedian? Foul balls. The Seattle Mariners Spring Training Comedy Tour thankfully doesn’t feature the shitty sports team, but rather Comedy Central alumni Jeff Dye, Brian Moote, and Andrew Sleighter -- all close friends from Seattle’s comedy open mic scene.
