Dave Niehaus, Voice of the Seattle Mariners, Dies at 75 November 10, 2010 Mariners fans are saddened to learn that Dave Niehaus, the play-by-play voice of the Seattle Mariners since 1977, has died at age 75. Niehaus passed away of a heart attack Wednesday evening in his Bellevue home. Niehaus was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008 as the recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award , the highest honor for American baseball broadcasters. He will be missed by all, but remembered for his many phrases. The home run call: "It will fly away!" The Grand Slam call in which he emphatically screams: "Get out the rye bread and mustard, grandma - it is grand salami time!" My Oh My! “He made the Mariners what they are. Day in and day out he brought the excitement.” - Ken Griffey, Jr Loss of a Legend: Dave Niehaus, voice of the Mariners, dies at 75 - Komo News
