Wearing a Mariners sweater, Washington Senator Judy Warnick read a quote from Raleigh\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t stop working, and I won\u2019t stop grinding until the city gets what it deserves. And that is a perennial playoff team and a World Series championship,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Raleigh did not attend the event, but Mariners manager Dan Wilson, longtime broadcaster Rick Rizzs, and president of baseball operations Jerry DiPoto were on hand as senators unanimously approved the measure recognizing the team\u2019s accomplishments.<\/p>\n
