The Seattle Times is reporting that Dave Niehaus has died at 75. He goes down as one of the greatest Mariners of all time. Personally I put him right there next to Edgar, with The Big Unit and Griffey not far behind.
Over the past few seasons his calls weren't as sharp as they used to be, but many of us accepted that and were able to enjoy hearing his soothing voice at the mic knowing that he could retire at any time.
More to come on Dave this week. I'm off to raise a salami and rye bread toast in his honor.
