The Mariners have said that 2011 is a rebuilding year. But, judging by recent attendance at Safeco Field, they're going to have to rebuild more than just the team. KPLU sports commentator Art Thiel says the bond between the Mariners and their fans has been broken.
The Seattle Mariners will hold a “Public Celebration of Life” for late broadcaster Dave Niehaus tomorrow. Scheduled start is just after 1 p.m. Saturday at Safeco Field.
Family, players and close associates will pay tribute to Niehaus, the only play-by-play announcer the team has ever had. He died of a heart attack last month at the age of 75.
