There was an interesting story about Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez in The New York Times on Tuesday. Like many around the country, the writer wondered why the highest-paid pitcher in baseball would stay in Seattle when better teams in bigger cities wanted him.

The answer is simple to people who live around here: it’s because it’s here. Hernandez and his family like living in Bellevue, playing in its parks and being comfortable in its lifestyle.

Home, apparently, really is where the heart is.
