Congratulations to the Seahawks! If you were wondering, the last time a city had its NFL team win a Super Bowl & its MLB team win the World Series later that year, it was the Patriots & Red Sox in 2004. The Red Sox that season were coming off a defeat in ALCS Game 7. ๐Ÿ‘€โšพ๏ธ๐Ÿ”œโ€ผ๏ธ

I took these pics of Rick Rizzs and Cal Raleigh but never posted them. This was Oct. 1, 2022, the morning after Cal hit the walk-off homer to send the Mariners to the playoffs!

Congrats on your retirement, Rick. Iโ€™m so happy we get one more season with you on the call! ๐ŸŽค

The Seahawks have 5 All-Pros (Smith-Njigba, L. Williams, E. Jones IV, Witherspoon, Dickson) and the Mariners had 5 All-Stars (Raleigh, Rodrรญguez, Muรฑoz, Woo, Arozarena), making Seattle the only city in 2025 whose NFL & MLB teams produced 5+ All-Pros and 5+ All-Stars.

Already posted to โ€œXโ€, but wanted to share here:

Iโ€™m so grateful that I had a front row seat for Cal Raleighโ€™s 2025 season. Breaking records, hitting HR #60 on AL West clinch night! But also visiting childrenโ€™s hospitals on his rare off days. Treating everyone he met with respect and kindness. MVP!

The 2025 Mariners: sixth team in MLB history to have 3 G in which they hit 4+ home runs in shutout win.
