SEATTLE, July 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A force of nature on the mound, Mariners great Randy Johnson was known simply as the "Big Unit." Today, Centerplate proudly provided the hospitality for the "Big Unit's" big day as Johnson and former Mariners stand out Dan Wilson were inducted into the Mariners Hall of Fame. A luncheon featuring the two inductees, plus other members of the Mariners Hall of Fame, was open to the public today and drew five hundred and fifty fans. For Centerplate, hospitality partner to the Seattle Mariners, it was a point of great pride to be invited to host the Hall of Fame luncheon.

"It was an honor to be a part of this special day," said Centerplate's General Manager, Steve Dominguez. "Centerplate helped to provide a special event for all guests and all of the Hall of Famers."
