The longtime voice of the Mariners Radio Network, including on flagship station Seattle Sports, Rizzs is the longest-tenured broadcaster in Mariners history.
Rizzs is set to go into the Mariners Hall of Fame in 2027, joining his former broadcast partner Dave Niehaus as the only non-uniformed members of the franchise to receive the honor.

What a fantastic weekend of celebration for such a wonderful play-by-play voice and person behind that voice! Not the way we hope Rick's career would end, but I have to think that if the Mariners do reach the World Series in the next few seasons, Rick will be invited back to the booth to fulfill his dream of calling a World Series game.
Amazing that next season will be the first in Mariners history that neither Dave or Rick will be at the microphone...
