Happy Birthday to ‘Blue’

“Mama Blue” turns 80 tomorrow, but the long-time Seahawks fan is celebrating her birthday today from her usual seat in the south end zone at Qwest Field.

And guess what “Mama Blue” – a.k.a Patti Hammond – wants for her birthday.

“Well you know I want a win, first,” she just said, in between greeting players as they emerged from the tunnel that leads to Seahawks’ locker room. “Then, I want to go to the Super Bowl and see them win.

“Other than that, all I can say is I want everybody to just love the Seahawks like I’ve done for 35 years. It’s all good.”

Even turning 80.

“It’s just a number,” she said. “Age only counts when you’re talking about wine and cheese.”
