The Seattle Mariners today announced their tentative 2007 regular season schedule and the big news is that Ken Griffey Jr. is scheduled to return to Safeco Field with the Cincinnati Reds for a weekend series on June 22-24.
Griffey, who recently hit his 563rd home run, was traded by the Mariners to the Reds in 2000 after having spent his first 11 seasons with Seattle.
Other highlights:
• The Mariners open at home with a three-game series against the Oakland A's. Opening Day is Monday, April 2.
• The Pittsburgh Pirates will make their first-ever appearance in Seattle in a series just before Reds come to town.
• Seattle is scheduled to play at Wrigley Field for the first time when the team has a three-game series there vs. the Cubs from June 12-14.
• The New York Yankees will play just one three-game series in Seattle next season (May 11-13).
• The other three AL West teams will play 28 games at Safeco Field next season: Oakland 10 games, Texas and Los Angeles nine games each.
