He has his go-to coffee shop he stops at every morning. Each Sunday morning he can be found at his local church. And he can often be seen on Front Street enjoying a steak at JaK’s Grill.

Now, he will forever be a part of the city.

After Rizzs threw out the ceremonial first pitch at T-Mobile Park before his penultimate game in the booth on Saturday night, it was announced the city of Issaquah will name a street “Rick Rizzs Road” after the iconic Mariners broadcaster.

Rizzs, who is retiring after 41 years calling Mariners games, was surrounded by team legends Alvin Davis, Jamie Moyer, Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez, Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki when the threw the first pitch to longtime team catcher and current manager Dan Wilson. After the pitch – which landed for a strike right down the middle – Rizzs received an 100-year-old radio signed by the 50 greatest players in Mariners history, then T-Mobile Park public address announcer Tom Hutyler told Rizzs there was one more surprise. Issaquah mayor Mark Mullet showed up behind home plate and Rizzs received the news that an Issaquah street will be named in his honor.

Rizzs has called more than 6,000 games, five no-hitters and seen over 900 different Mariners players during a career in Seattle that has spanned across parts of five decades. He is the longest-tenured broadcaster in the club history and will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame next year. When he is inducted, he will join longtime mentor and friend Dave Niehaus as the only broadcasters in the club’s Hall of Fame.
