• Zach Top might love classic country, but his heart belongs to the Seattle Mariners. During an interview he confessed that he recently skipped an encore in Louisville so he could catch the end of a Mariners game. https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2025/10/16/im-not-proud-to-admit-this-zach-top-skipped-an-encore-at-a-recent-show-because-he-wanted-to-watch-the-mariners-game/
• Quote, "I'm not proud to admit this . . . but we had a show the other night, and the crowd wanted an encore. I didn't give them one because I was already sprinting back to my green room to watch the rest of the game."
• It even went a step further. Zach said, "I had my monitor engineer feeding me score updates in my ears throughout the show."
• Now that is a diehard fan.  The Seattle Mariners are currently tied with the Toronto Blue Jays at two games apiece in the American League Championship Series.
