The Mariners snapped their 21-year playoff drought in dramatic fashion on Friday night, thanks to a walk-off home run by catcher Cal Raleigh. The wild card-clinching victory led to a huge celebration in Seattle.
Maybe the best part of these regular season celebrations is seeing the local broadcasters, who have been with the team’s all season long, get to call the big moments. That is exactly what happened with the Mariners on Friday, and the team shared the moments with social media.
First up is Root Sports announcer Dave Sims, who is currently in his 16th season as the Mariners television play-by-play announcer. In his first playoff-clinching call with the team, Sims brought out his iconic “hey now, hey now” line for an electric call.
