“Goodbye baseball!” “Holy Smokes!” “Dustin and Justin are bustin’!”

Mariners announcer Rick Rizzs has a lot of great lines, but he needs a signature home run call for new Mariner Robinson Cano.

“We’ve got to have something for Robinson Cano,” Rizzs told KIRO Radio’s Ron & Don Show.

Rizzs says the second baseman has been outstanding and even better than advertised.

“This guy is one of the best players in the game of baseball period. He brings so much to this organization.”

Cano hit his first home run for the Mariners on Thursday, and Rizzs went with the old standard “Goodbye Baseball!” But we want a lot more hits like this from him, so let’s give Cano his own call.

What are your ideas for a signature Robinson Cano home run call?
