The passing of a legend.

Today, a man died.
That man's name is Dave Niehaus, he was the voice of the Seattle Mariners baseball club since their inception back in 1977. Coincidentally, that was the year I was born. This man was the voice of the baseball team that I have loved for better and for worse throughout my life. Every win, every loss, every grand salami where grandma was required to get out the rye bread and the mustard, Dave was there.
I am really not that much of a "sports guy" in the deep meaning of that phrase, but this is the man who is the only hall of fame inductee to be a part of our home team. I have enjoyed his calls for as long as I can remember.
I think that we can all recall the passing of a legend in our own lives, and I want to dedicate this thread to this man, as well as anyone whose passing has affected anyone else in a similar fashion.
Tonight, I raise my glass in salute, to Dave Niehaus.

Canadian mafia?
Pffffffffffff.
Bye bye, baseball...
The event is an informal opportunity for fans to remember Niehaus this week. Plans for a formal memorial celebration are pending, and the club will release details as soon as a final decision is made on that in conjunction with his family.
Fans may enter Saturday's open house through the Home Plate entrance and then will be invited to sign a remembrance book for the Niehaus family, view memorabilia of his Hall of Fame career and share memories."
Also "710 ESPN Seattle and News Talk 97.3 KIRO FM, the radio home of the Mariners, will broadcast game 5 of the 1995 American League Division Series in tribute to the Hall of Fame broadcaster Dave Niehaus Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 12noon."
I don't even like baseball, really, but he was a big part of my childhood, that voice in the background
I know how you feel. Condolences.
1. There is mafia in Canada. Italian mafia, in Montreal.
2. There was a guy named Tiger Lance.
I just went to wikipedia's page for 'deaths in 2010'. The whole 'rule of 3' thing really annoys me because it's the most obvious example of confirmation bias ever.

It just says "Greek Politician"
See this made me laugh.
I wish i could make that thing at Safeco on Saturday, too bad I am working during that time.
You're right, it was.
