Rick Rizzs is the 'voice' of the Seattle Mariners. He got his start back in 1983 after 8 years of grinding it out in the minor leagues where he doubles as a clubbie to get his 3 innings in the booth! We talk about where the journey began as a 12 year old in his mothers basement as he would pretend he was the play by play announcer for the Chicago Cubs, the infamous cookie eating contest that nearly caused him to miss his big interview with the Mariners.
