Larry Stone: Recently retired Mariners exec Randy Adamack was face of franchise behind the scenes for 44 seasons

SEATTLE — Over the past 44 seasons, Randy Adamack has seen almost every bit of Mariners history and lived it from the inside.

From Lenny Randle blowing the ball foul to Gaylord Perry's 300th win to Felix's perfect game. From Funny Nose Glasses Night to Buhner Buzz Cut to the falling ceiling tiles. From Kingdome to T-Mobile, from the miracle of '95 to the 116 wins of 2001 to the near-misses and on-field frustrations ever since, Adamack was there for all of it.

From Ruppert Jones to Bill "Cuffs" Caudill to Alvin Davis to Ken Griffey Jr. to Felix Hernandez to Julio Rodriguez, Adamack was there. But not just the stars — Adamack also knew the journeymen, the cup-of-coffee rookies, the fringe guys and the phenoms, and treated them all with equal respect.
