There’s something special about hearing the game on the radio. The crackle of the signal, the roar of the crowd behind it, and then the voices: steady, familiar, trusted.

For me, that’s Rick Rizzs and Steve Raible.

I’m 50 now, but as a teenager, I can still remember Rick as the young sidekick to Dave Niehaus. I’d be in my room with the radio on, listening as Dave and Rick made the Griffey’s sound larger than life.

Then, over on Sundays, there was Steve Raible learning the ropes next to Pete Gross, losing his mind in the best way when Curt Warner found the end zone.
