Dave Niehaus, the 'voice of the Mariners' passed away today. I was part of a sports camp when I was a kid and his daughter Gretta was a counselor there. On the last day of the camp, Dave came in to meet all the kids and signed baseballs for all of us. He was a really cool guy. :cry:

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Oh my god. So sad. I'll never forget 1995.. I was 4 years old and won the Dave Niehaus sound alike contest outside of the kingdome during the playoffs.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Sad day. He was one of the great broadcasters of his time.

    If anyone had something to say about Dave's passing, I was hoping it would be Junior.

    Ken called into ESPN radio in Seattle tonight to talk about losing Dave: http://www.mynorthwest.com/resources/au ... 5630_6.mp3
