SEATTLE — Félix Hernández will stand in the middle of T-Mobile Park in front of a sellout crowd again and the only certainty about this trip to the mound is that there will be tears. Hernández will become the 11th member of the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame when he's inducted Saturday night. He may not talk for long, but it will be emotional.
