A NW Legend died and your bitching about the baseball hall of fame. You should walk out in front of moving traffic.

One of my favorite Dave Niehaus memories ironically involves his absence. In the late 90s a minor earthquake shook Seattle in the middle of a baseball game. The year before the Kingdome had had some problems with concrete falling off the ceiling. I don’t remember Dave’s exact words, but it was kind of like this:

“My, the building is shaking, what?,,, what?”… followed by almost 20 minutes on the radio wher the only sound was that of the remaining crowd in the Kingdome chanting “Play Ball!”, while Dave worked his way out of the stadium to the broadcast van outside.

When I hear “Play Ball”, I’ll always think of Dave.

Being a New Englander, I really only heard clips of his work. But the guy was pretty much a legend out west. RIP.

I said the other day that I hadn’t heard good game calling, but thats not true and I can’t believe I didn’t mention Dave seeing as I live right here in Seattle. It was always great to listen to even if the ‘my oh my’ part was overplayed in radio commercials(it stops being special when you hear it every twenty mins).

Great guy from everything I’ve heard, educated fan, and just knew how to call a game well. He will be missed.

SWUNG ON AND BELTED!!!

And caught just shy of the warning track.

Hands down, the funniest thing on the radio and TV.

RIP Dave, you kept the octogenarians happy for years.

Sorry to hear about this Mariner Fans.

Having listened to fellow Frick Award Winner Denny Mathews (The Voice of the Royals since 1969)since I was old enough to be cognizant of baseball I know one day I’m going to hear of his death and be just as sad.

Guys that are “The Voice” of their teams are a dying breed.

By nature of winning the Frick Award, he was inducted into the broadcasting wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame, so not only are you a douche, but you’re wrong, also. Ass.

He was never inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame. NEVER. No broadcaster or writer has ever been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in any way, shape, or form. His winning the Frick Award was in no way an induction into anything other than the fraternity of Frick Award winners. That’s all it was. AN AWARD.

So long, Dave. One of the best story tellers who could make a game come alive. For as dreadful a season as this was for the M’s, turning on MLB.tv and hearing his call made the games better.

Dave you were the best! gAWD WE WILL MISS YOUR VOICE DURING THOSE SUMMER DAYS IN THE BACK YARD.
Dave RIP.
Your life was one of hope and laughter. At least you gave me hope. I loved the why you would call a close pitch during a tenion filled moment in a game…
“Loooow, baaaall 3!” Your voice would so looow, just like the pitch. You were painting with your voice and I WAS THERE! I didn’t have to spend a penny but I was there at the game. You were the Red Barber of the game. There are none better now in the broadcast booth.
