41 Seasons. 6,000 Games. Thank You, Rick Rizzs.
Rick Rizzs retires Sunday after 41 seasons calling Mariners baseball — more than 6,000 games, and not one of them in the World Series. Charlie Harger tells the story of the night in 2002 when Rick walked over to a brand-new board operator who'd botched an entire show, looked him in the eye, and asked if he was OK.
From a passed baseball cap in the 1995 Mariners clubhouse to a charity that now serves 6,000 families a year, from the garage radio on a summer afternoon to extra innings on a school night — a tribute to the voice that made you believe the Mariners still had a chance, even when they didn't.
