马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊是个地地道道的西雅图人。
考虑到这一点，当得知他在美国职业棒球大联盟 (Major League Baseball) 的比赛中鼎力支持家乡球队西雅图水手队，与多伦多蓝鸟队展开对决时，也就不足为奇了。
周三的训练结束后，当一名记者问他“水手队最近怎么样？”时，约翰逊说道：“这是你很长一段时间以来问过的最好的问题。”
他补充道：“他们干得太棒了。看到这座城市（为此沸腾）真的很有趣。我们的城市配得上这份荣耀。我们已经等了太久，那些家伙们表现得非常出色。”
现年38岁的约翰逊在西雅图出生并长大，他的父亲是前NBA球员、两届全明星约翰·约翰逊 (John Johnson)，后者曾随西雅图超音速队赢得了1979年的NBA总决赛。他的母亲珍妮·雷德曼 (Jenny Redman) 曾是华盛顿大学的网球运动员。米奇的继父里克·雷德曼 (Rick Redman) 则是华盛顿大学的全美最佳阵容橄榄球运动员。
米奇曾就读于西雅图的奥迪高中，期间两度入选州最佳阵容并担任队长。他带领“爱尔兰战士队”两次夺得州冠军，并在高年级时场均贡献22.0分和8.0次助攻。
然而对米奇和整个西雅图来说不幸的是，在周三晚于西雅图T-Mobile公园球场进行的美国联盟冠军系列赛中，蓝鸟队轰出五支本垒打，最终以13-4逆转取胜，将系列赛大比分追至1-2。
系列赛第四场将于周四晚上7:30在西雅图举行。
可以肯定的是，届时米奇一定会锁定频道观看比赛。

What MLB team is on the mind of Spurs coach Mitch Johnson?

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson is a Seattle guy through and through.
With that in mind, it came as no surprise to learn he’s pulling hard for his hometown Mariners in their Major League Baseball showdown with the Toronto Blue Jays.
“It’s the best question you asked in a long time,” Johnson said after Wednesday’s practice when a reporter asked him, ‘How about those Mariners?’
“They’re doing a heck of a job,” he added. “It’s been fun to watch that city. Our city deserves that. We’ve been waiting a long time and those guys have done a heck of a job.”
Born and raised in Seattle, Johnson, 38, is the son of former NBA player and two-time All-Star John Johnson, who won the 1979 NBA Finals with the Seattle SuperSonics, and Jenny Redman, a former University of Washington tennis player. Mitch’s stepfather Rick Redman was an All-American football player at Washington.
A two-time All-State performer and team captain at Seattle’s O’Dea High School, Mitch guided the Fighting Irish to two state championships and averaged 22.0 points and 8.0 assists as a senior.
Unfortunately for Mitch and Seattle, the Blue Jays hit five home runs en route to a 13-4 come-from-behind win on Wednesday night at T-Mobile Park in Seattle to pull within 2-1 in the American League Championship Series.
Game 4 is set for 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Seattle.
You can bet Mitch will be tuning in.
