We’ll Miss You, Dave

By

I am incredibly saddened by the passing of Dave Niehaus, the announcer who called the Mariners’ baseball games in Seattle for over 30 years.

A game just wasn’t complete without Dave’s commentary. His occasional enthusiastic outbursts  “My Oh My” and “Fly Fly Away!” punctuated the very best games and best plays. So often we went to games with radio headphones so that we could listen to his calls. In fact, there were many a game watched from home where we turned down the TV and turned up the radio to listen to him.

My children all love baseball–partly because Dave Niehaus made it come alive for them. We celebrated so many wins and so many near impossible plays with him … and Niehaus knew just how to heighten the excitement.

Oh, we’ll greatly miss you, Dave. Baseball in Seattle will never be the same again.

Baseball & Babies, It Just Doesn’t Get Any Cuter!

For the last month or so I’ve been assisting a wonderful couple find a new home. As we’ve gotten to know each other, I was delighted to find that not only are they the parents of darling little Noah, they were huge Ken Griffey, Jr. fans. In fact, the first time I chatted with them prior to their move to Washington, Dad was absolutely certain that four-month old Noah already knew how to play catch!

As the proud grandma of our own little Tyler, just one month ahead of Noah, I decided it was time to get baseball hats for the both of them, which lead to a pair of tickets for my relocated clients. The hats were HUGE on both of the boys, but little Noah loved the game!
