Gotta give King Felix props for staying with Seattle all those years.

First, Ichiro. Now, Felix? 😭 I’ve shed too many tears as a Mariners fan this year, this one is beyond bittersweet. The only pitcher in MLB history to win a Cy Young, throw a Perfecto, and have 2,500+ Ks for one team. Baseball Legend. Seattle Icon. We Love You #34 Long Live The King!

I’ve never heard him say the wrong thing. Felix is a class act who will be a King in Seattle for many years to come.

Even though I'm an Angels fan, this dude is an absolute legend. What a career.

King Felix’s postseason ERA was a masterful 0.00. All joking aside, one of the best ever!

In an era where staying a one club player is almost im possible he made it and great to see him receive such a warm loving reception from his fans

This is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen in sports in a long time.

Felix is one of the best pitchers I’ve ever gotten to watch. Shame Seattle couldn’t help him win a ring during his time.

It’s still Safeco Field to me, dammit!

Amazing. Legend

As a Mets fan, Ill always remember during the 2008 season when the M's played the Mets at Shea, and Felix hit a grand slam off his countryman Johan Santana.

Was at this game. The energy was insane. Emotional to say the least. Love you King

He DEFINITELY made my 40th birthday(8/15/12) even more special with that Perfect Game! LONG LIVE THE KING! #KingFelix⚾🔱💙💚

I give him credit for staying in Seattle for all these years. Now obviously he’s not the pitcher he once was because he has a lot of miles on the arm but he’s had an amazing career. It makes you wonder where he would be had he decided to sign elsewhere. He has 169 wins with Seattle.

One of the best to ever do it & yet so humble. Not many players in any sport loves their team as much as he did. Shame he never won a World Series but he won Seattle hearts everywhere. Felix "The King" Hernandez

From a Texas baseball fan...I salute... KING FELIX!!!!! It is players like him that make baseball such a great game

Very underrated at times! One of the greats! I may be a Mets fan but I grew up watching King Felix! A true player and a role model! Gracias Rey por todo lo que hiciste en Seattle!

Damn gonna miss him what a G for staying

The end of an era.

My fav M's pitcher of all time. I drive a lot for work. I caught the final 3 innings of his perfect game - it happened to be a day game - in my work truck. I wasted some company time that day...

Felix, Ichiro, Griffey jr, and Martinez all gave their hearts to Seattle. It's a shame they don't have a ring. Not even a Mariners fan but I wish the Mariners had won a world series or 2 just for those guys

Got to love him!! He gave so so much to his team and fans. Got to respect him. He makes you love baseball!!

Oh man, JP being there for that is truly poetic seeing how the mariners are doing now with him, also Dylan Moore with that insane catch and he's still with the M's. End of an era, and beginning of a new one.

Thank you King Felix for sticking around and giving us Mariners fans something to cheer for all those years! You could have moved on to better teams and had shots at championships like so many have done but you stuck it out, and we're so thankful you did! Congratulations, and you had better show up in baseballs hall of fame for all you've done!!

Who remembers when Felix hit a grand salami off Johan Santana 😂

Helluva run. Great pitcher, stayed in Seattle all those years, just awesome. I was in high school wen he came up now I'm grown with kids of my own. Awesome run

Coming back to watch this again in 2022, and as I understand the reason and the need for the nets along the lines, it's really awesome to see the interaction with no nets

As a lifetime A's fan that bleeds green and gold I have to pay my respects to the king. He was one of those players you hated not for who he was or what team he was on, but because he was just that good.

I still remember that perfect game -the only Seattle Mariner to do so -last pitcher since then to do so -the 23rd pitcher to do so

Gosh, to think that 2000 and 2001 was the last time the M's made the playoffs. Wow

Oh and I can't forget - much respect for King Felix from a life-long Braves fan. What a guy, what a career and he's just a class act. #LongLiveTheKing

really gotta respect this man. met fan here. love king felix

A first round hall of famer no doubt. I'm not even a Mariners fan, but people need to recognize just how dominant this guy was for so many years. NEVER received run support. Was pretty much a guaranteed 8+ innings with 1 run or less per start in his prime

One of my all-time favorite players. Class act. A's fan here. Good luck in all your future Ventures my man. First ballot hall-of-famer. 💯

This has to be one of the greatest moments of an athlete showing his appreciation to his fans.

Gotta love it. Red Sox fan here, but im a baseball fan first. Love this guy and his passion for the game.

I'm a die hard Yankees fan and King Felix has given my team conniptions over the years but he's a good man, a class act and great for baseball.

Much respect from an A’s fan! As you can see, one of many Mariners I’ve feared having to go against.

King Felix u da man bro , yankees fan, baseball fan, u da legend my dude! Bendiciones ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘

Criminally underrated and a definite no doubt hall of famer. And I'm a Yankees fan

demonios por eso amo el baseball por que me da emocuiones tan fuertes que no me explico , me da trizteza , alegria , emocion, me asombro , nervios de todo para mi es el mejor deporte

King Felix! Man I wish we had more of supportive offensive crew!

El Eterno Rey. Seguí toda tu carrera siempre. La primera vez que leí sobre Félix Hernández fue en El Carabobeño, no podía creer su edad pero sobretodo que era mi paisano. Estuvo destinado a ser entre los mejores lanzadores de Venezuela en una época donde liberaban unos señores como Johan Santana y Carlos Zambrano. Por siempre será un ídolo eterno de Seattle y de toda Venezuela. Long live King Félix!!!

King Felix joins Edgar as a player who spent their whole career in Seattle and has a place in our hearts. See you in the Hall of Fame King Felix! Wish our hitting could have matched you pitching 😉. Go Mariners!

La verdad que felix hernandez se gano con creces el aprecio de los fanatico de seatle

Better than that Cy Young and that perfect game...is how much fun he's had these years, those funny moments with Beltre will always live in my memory and heart. Thanks King, long live the king! #34

Did he ever get to pitch in the post season? I feel like if he never got the chance, then that's unbelievable. He was amazing.

Great fans showing love and appreciation. Padre fan here . We had Tony Gwynn who chose to stay a Padre forever. Somehow these rare people become our family members.

As a little kid whose bedtime was whenever the mariners game ended, I never heard his voice until I got older. “I just want to have fun” is the six words I wish I would have heard 15 years ago.

Congrats from Milwaukee on a great career King Felix .

Amazing sweet guy❤ all the way from south korea

Felix Hernandez and Adrian Beltre, the color commentator duo. The team we never knew we needed.

Tigers fan here, watching this guy pitch was an amazing sight, he’s truly a great pitcher whether he’ll be in Cooperstown will be determined. I know he’s a great pitcher. I know he could’ve pitched another few years. Because he retired practically still in his prime, he was kind of young. He retired in 2019 he could’ve still been pitching for a big league club at least a couple more seasons more. He still brings greatness. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mariners decided to enshrine him with the all-time Mariners great with Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki, and also Randy Johnson. he deserves to be in the Mariners hall of fame. He pitched great against the Tigers. I’m wishing him the very best in his retirement. Great player. Thank you for the memories, King Felix. He’s 36 years old now almost 37 years old on April 8th, i’m just saying he’s a great player and he still would’ve had a couple more seasons left in the tank.

Today was probably Kyle Seager's last game as a Mariner. Same vibes, but combined with the tension of a must-win game 162 it made for something very emotional. Here's to a bright future for the Mariners, one where the team goes further than it ever got while Felix and Kyle were around.

I grew up a Yankee fan in the dark days of mediocrity (after ‘77), when the franchise couldn’t do anything right. When MLB banned Steinbrenner from being apart of baseball activities for his toxicity. In those days Donnie Baseball was our hero for staying. It means a lot to the fans. As a fan of the game, I love King Felix. I pray for the day the Mariners are back giving the Yanks fits in the divisional round like in the 90’s. It’s good for the game. Keep faith Seatown!

Farewell king! Thanks for the perfecto and the many memories!

Thanks for the memories Felix! You will always be a Seattle Mariners! GODSPEED King Felix and good luck to you in your life endeavors! GODSPEED

Wow. What a player. My hats off for the guy. Same team his we hope career.

Miss Felix…much love to ya King! ❤️

This guy was a beast and a legend will always love this guy and he will truly be missed from a blue jays fan

Didn’t cry for Ichiro but I have been a lifelong Felix fan. I cried

We all love you Felix!!! Thank you and God Bless.

What a legend. Not a Mariners fan but this guy is one of my all time favorites. Long live the king. What a career.

King felix has been one of the best the last 10 yrs.

Always love for the King Felix 🔥😎🇩🇴❤️

15 years with one team is an amazing feat. Dude everything he could to help the Mariners win, so kudos to the KING!

Almost criminal that the Mariners organization has been inept for the entirety of his career. He had a talent that should've been displayed on a national stage, perhaps close to 100 win stolen from him by playing on a cellar dweller. Bavasi, Jackie Z, and Dipoto should be ashamed of themselves for screwing the King and the fans of the Mariners these last 2 decades.

I grew up idolizing King Felix. Getting off of practice or a game and watching the mariners ending out a game with my pops. Man. I miss those times being young and watching this dude live my dream. What a amazing career 34

You were AMAZE'N💟💙🙏 n you will be missed 😢💔🥰

Seattle wasn't my team, but King Felix was my favorite pitcher in the game. Lionheart King Felix

he was a great pitcher and person, have a great retirement felix!!

Felix carrer was sad because he didn't have run support in most of his starts and they ended this game the same way

Man congratulations to you man It's tuff being a picture but to do it for fifteen years man is a blessing Much continued success Felix Hernandez's 🙏🏾🏆🥇💚💛

Thank you King Felix. You were always classy and a team player. Seattle Loves You.

El mejor pitcher! Orgullo de Valencia, Venezuela.. I love it

De Venezuela Para el mundo el rey Félix papá. The king

He Left trailing 3-0, but still a great winning record. An A's fan who respects a great player.

I wish Felix was a part of this years team. Best mariner pitcher of all time

El Rey siempre te recordaremos como unos de los mejores lanzadores latinos de la historia

Respect to the king 👑

Delivered a FedEx package to felix at tacoma Rainiers stadium when he was 19...who knew man , great career!

Love this dude as a player. Thanks from Texas.

Unbelievable pitcher and professional

Felix will always be a part of this city. Thank you for the memories 💕

Miss Felix, long live the king

King Felix a class act on and off the field heck of a career coming from a Yankee fan! Respect💯⚾️

Nothing but respect for king Felix

I visited Seattle last summer when the Giants were in town. The day before the series started, he was out with his family in the city and we ended up on the same tour together. I was wearing my Giants gear and saw him. He saw me and knew why I was there. I waited until he broke away from his family for a minute after the tour to shake his hand and let him know how much I appreciate what he's done for the game. He's a great guy.

Dude gave his entire career to the Mariners gotta respect that hopefully he will get in the hall one day

what a guy.

Man the day I met this man was legendary.

I was in Seattle the day he pitched the perfect game. Man I wish I bought a ticket

love how you can the infielders really trying to embrace every moment with the legend.

Right guy, right team, right city...Legendary.

What a good dude and a great career. Hats off to you, King Felix.

As a baseball fan I feel truly privileged to be able to see King Felix play. Thank you hopefully in 5 to 8 years he's in Cooperstown‼☝🏽👑
