Back of a lot of fun coming your way tonight here in the Kingdom to see the Griffys, Ken Senior and Ken Junior play and make their first appearance in a major league uniform together.
And it happens to be right here in Seattle in a Mariners uniform. Plenty of excitement on hand.
And we'll be back and have a look at tonight's historic dining lineup right after this time out.
So we're driving along. My car and I. Fuel low, hunger high. But time for only one stop. Then I spot a welcome sight. A Chevron Food Mart. Gasoline and snacks to go and go we do. The freeway is ours again.
Chevron Food Mart. One stop that kept us going. At the St. Petersburg Times, press operators had to wait while pages were sent by hand from an office miles away.
But then with the help of GTE, they came up with a way to send those pages over fiber optic phone lines, saving precious time and money.
You see, if GTE, it's not just communications we offer, it's solutions. GTE. The power is on.

Here's a look at the shiny lineup as the Mariners take the field. And for the first time ever, father and son taking the field for the first time.
Ken Griffey, Sr. trotting out the left field. Ken Griffey, Jr. trotting out the center field. Quite a historic moment in the history of the game of baseball.
Junior waves to his father on his way out the center. Here's a look at tonight's shiny lineup. First of all, for the visiting Kansas City Royals as the fans give the Griffey's the standing ovation.
Leading off at third base for Kansas City, Kevin Sipes. Second in center field, Brian McRae. Third is designated hitter, Danny Tynable.
Jackson will be in left field and bad cleanup. Hitting fifth is the catcher, Mike McFarland. Manning sixth in right field is Jim Eisenreich.
Willie Wilson was a late scratch in the small game, so Eisenreich will be in right.
Manning seventh over at first base is Bill Picotta playing for the injured George Brad, who has a little bit of a snort back after a collision a couple of days in Oakland with A's pitcher, Scott Sanderson.
So Picotta will be at first base in bad seventh. Hitting eighth at second base is the veteran, Frank White.
And manning ninth at shortstop, Steve Jeltsin, on the mound making his 20th time of the year.
And his second against the M's right-hander, Storm Davis. Davis, a winner of seven, he has lost nine. And he has an earned run average of 4.62.
For the Seattle Mariners, and we hope that you are going to keep score for this ball game and save your score sheet.
Here's a look at the signing lineup. First of all for the Mariners.
Leading off at second base, Harold Reynolds. Manning second in left field, making his Mariner debut, Ken Griffey, Sr.
He was hitting 206 with the Cincinnati Reds this year with a home run and eight runs batted in.
Manning third in center field, a kid, Ken Griffey, Jr. Right now, Jr. and Sr. playing a little catch in the outfield right now.
Manning clean up the designated hitter is Alvin Davis.
Hitting fifth at first base, Pete O'Brien. Jay Buhner is in right field and he'll bat sixth.
Hitting seventh over at third base, Edgar Martinez. Manning eighth is the catcher, Scott Bradley.
And 89th over at shortstop is Omar Vizcal and on the mound making his 27th start of the year and his second against the Royals.
Left-hander Randy Johnson. Johnson with a mark of 12-8 with a 3.44 ERA.
Yes indeed, history being made as we speak here in the kingdom. Ken Griffey, Sr. in left, Ken Griffey, Jr. in center field.
The first time in 114 years of Major League Baseball history that a father and son playing for the same ball club.
The Yams against Kansas City for the play-by-play. Here's Dave.
Thank you Rick and a very pleasant good evening everybody and welcome to baseball history here at the Kingdome tonight.
The one thing that I noticed first when the players, the Mariners were announced to go to their defensive position, Ken Griffey went to left field.
Jr. came to home plate, said something to Rich Garcia as if to say, take it easy on the old man tonight, will you?
Garcia grinned from ear to ear and then Griffey went on out to center field.
So we're set to play baseball and Kevin Siteser leads it off and Randy Johnson's first pitch is the fastball that misses down low.
Ball one, one ball and no strikes. Begin at the 738 Pacific Daylight time here this evening.
Siteser right-handed batter hitting 283 and R.J.'s 1-0 pitch on the way and the fastball again missing downstairs.
Ball two, two balls and no strikes to count on the Royals third baseman. Kansas City losing two out of three to the Oakland Athletics.
And then just a brief three-game series here and then they go home. Actually don't go home, they go to the Midwest.
The 2-0 pitch on the way and there is the strike call by Rich Garcia, the home plate umpire.
Kansas City is on a four-city tour after Seattle, they go to Chicago and then down to Texas, their longest road trip of the year.
The 2-1 pitch on the way to the right-handed batting Siteser and the breaking ballless slider is a strike call.
Two balls and two strikes. Ken Griffey straight away in left, Junior straight away in center and Jay Buhner is in right.
R.J., ready to come back in and the 6-10 softball's next pitch way inside and that time Siteser has to jump rope and get out of the way.
Ken Griffey says, call me Ken Griffey, don't call me senior, call Junior, Junior. I'm Ken Griffey. So that's the way we'll go with it.
Ken Griffey and now Junior in center field and we hope that that tandem plays a lot before this year is out. It should be exciting.
Three into the count. Here comes the wind and the 3-2 pitch on the way to Siteser now and the slider is flung on and Paul Fowl on the third base line.
Adrian Garrett, the man coaching at third base for Kansas City and Bob Schaefer is over at first.
The umpires of Rich Garcia, Steve Palermo at first base, Dale Scott at second and Rocky Rowe is around at third.
Randy Johnson back with the payoff pitch to Siteser now and the slider is swinging a foul at the plate.
The Royals treating the Mariners rather rudely last weekend in the heat and the humidity of Kansas City and it was broiling in Kansas City.
All four games when we began Sunday it was 95 degrees with about 80 percent humidity and Kansas City beating the Mariners three out of four.
The M's are four and six against the Royals this year. Full count on Kevin Siteser and Randy again with the 3-2 pitch and a fastball again fouled away.
And this off to our right behind home plate into the 200 level. Still three and two.
Brian McCray, the rookie switch hitting center fielder will be next. Of course the son of Hal McCray and Danny Tartabold the designated hitter batting third here in the first.
Randy Johnson having a tough time getting rid of Kevin Siteser the leadoff man and again the 3-2 pitch and a slider swung on popped up.
Foul territory coming down Pete O'Brien right in the first base. Coach's box makes the catch for out number one.
So with one down Brian McCray, a young 22 year old actually he was 23 on Monday.
23 year old son of Hal McCray the hitting coach of the Montreal Expos a lot of father son connotations in this ballgame and you wonder what is going through Ken Griffey's mind out there in left field and certainly juniors.
McCray in wheeling that bat around at a home run against the Mariners his only major league home run on Sunday that pitch the fastball strike down the middle on one to count.
And that was off the left handed slants of Keith Comstock. Good looking youngster Brian McCray just happy to be here as he said in a pregame interview the 0-1 pitch and he shows the front takes the fastball inside and it got even at one ball and one strike.
Kansas City despite losing two of three to the A's have won seven of their last ten games and now at five hundred at sixty five and sixty five the M's have slipped to five under.
The 1-1 pitch to Brian and it's swung on and pulled foul on the carpet down the left field line to count a ball and two strikes.
Nice crowd on ends I would imagine anywhere from 23 to 25,000 with the extra added attraction of the historical aspect of this ballgame and indeed it is the Hall of Fame has already called for some artifacts from this game.
Here comes the left handers one to pitch on the way McCray a foul at the plate on the fastball and it stays a ball and two strikes. Looking forward to tomorrow when we will come your way a half an hour earlier at 636 Billy Swift will face Jim Campbell the young left hander who picked up his first major league victory against the M's last weekend in Kansas City.
Randy Johnson deals one two now to McCray and the fastball hit to the first baseman right there Peter O'Brien with the tailgate down as the ball runs to the bag and plenty of time.
So two away and here's Danny Tautable.
George is the best question for the batting title put on the whole floor a couple of days. He was involved in a collision at the Coliseum with Oakland pitcher Scott Sanderson at first base and he had to leave I believe that was in the fifth inning on Wednesday and his back kind of stiffened up and George is not in the lineup.
Hopefully he'll be back in the lineup tomorrow night.
Here's the bowl hitting 262 the ex-mariner right handed batter the pitch by Randy Johnson this slider by down the middle on one the count.
Danny Tautable has homered in three consecutive games and he has hit in five of his last six and Johnson's one strike delivery now slider pull foul again down the left field line over toward the Mariner dugout.
Oh and to lovely day and the Northwest today cool temperatures in the low 70s the range of left for a while.
Tautable waving it back and forth back and forth and Randy Johnson ready to come back with the two strike pitch and the big guy delivers oh two now the fastball.
So we've got history staring your right in the eye because in the bottom half of the first half of the leadoff man Reynolds and Griffey and then Ken Griffey Jr.
Good to have you with us and after a happy ending Kansas City nothing the Mariners coming up.

28 year old right hander Storm Davis still seeking his 100th career victory. He is making his 20th start of the year tonight. He was a loser to the Mariners.
Last start on the 25th of August. Six days ago. 63 the Mariners won that ball game. The only game of the four game series they won in Kansas City. So here is Harold Reynolds hitting at 244 with a couple of home runs and 40 RBIs.
However hitting down there 400 against Storm Davis in his career. 9 for 23 hitting 391. Here is Davis's wind. The pitch to Reynolds swung on and strokes into left center field and Brian McCrae moves over to make the easy catch.
So one pitch and one down as Reynolds flies out to left center. And here he comes and lifts it to the ovation. The Seattle welcome Ken Griffith.
Tremendous round of applause and a lot of people standing for the 40 year old veteran Ken Griffith. Here comes the wind. The pitch on the way to Griffith now and the breaking ball a little bit high.
Ball one. One ball and no strikes. Born in Denora, Pennsylvania. The birthplace of Stan Musial. That familiar number 30 on his back in Storm Davis's next pitch. A fastball line drive base hit center field. Almost short ahead of Storm Davis. Welcome to Seattle. Ken Griffith out full. Right back up the middle. Would you believe it.
Oh my. Oh my. What a shot. So Ken Griffith Jr. on the second pitch delivers to him. Hits a BB right back up the middle and receives a standing ovation here at the kingdom.
He's not going to waste any time getting his first. He said in a Seattle Maranies uniform. Base hit number 2091 in a 17 year. And the major league. Ken Griffith on his first base. Well here is Jr. now. Again. After the kingdom.
Jr. is at the plate with dad at first. The pitch on the way the fastball. Right on the inside corner. Oh and one. Jr. of course with a hundred and fifty four hits. Second in the American League in the number of hits. The pitch on the way to Griffith.
Right field. That's the second base here. Round there and hold. And the Griffiths are on board. Would you believe it. A shot up the middle by Ken Griffith Jr. up full. Right field. I guess in the most perfect of worlds the only thing you could ask for more than that would be back to back home runs.
But that will have to wait. This will do for a while. You couldn't write a better script right at the outset of the ballgame. They have taken the baseball out of the game. That is either a great souvenir for the Griffiths or on its way to the Hall of Fame. But the Griffiths with back to back singles.
And the first game ever that a father and son of play together in the big leagues want to start for the Griffiths. Unbelievable. You might recall last year. Jr. in his major league debut double off the left center field wall at the Oakland Coliseum is first at that. Here is Alvin Davis that fits to Alvin low inside ball one one ball and no strikes. Oh my that is really something.
The Griffiths single back to back. Nothing cheap about them. Here is the right hander stretch the pitch on the way to Alvin Steve. Right down the middle of all and a strike to count on the Mariners designated hitter.
Rippey and second base. Rippey and first base. Junior at first. One out two on. We're in the first and no score. Storm Davis is set for the one one pitch. Alvin taking the curve low inside and a field made down to the third base umpire rocky road.
Doesn't move a muscle.
I wonder what's going through 30s mind. Ken's wife in juniors mom here tonight the stretch the 2 1 pitch on the way and I've been taking a high ball three three balls in a strike.
Bill Plummer a teammate of the man standing at second base in the mid 70s with the Cincinnati Reds coaching over third base for the Mariners a pregame guest here comes a stretch the 3 1 pitch to Alvin line drive base hit right center field.
Here comes Ken Rippey. He's going to score. Junior to third base. He will hold there.
Alvin Davis a bullet in the right center field. Picking up his 50th RBI of the year. And these people are going bongo in the first inning at the kingdom.
Ken Rippey scores from second base junior doors from first to third base.
Here is Peter O'Brien.
Getting to 18 on the year.
Junior is at third base Alvin is over at first.
Jay Buehner is on deck.
Here comes the storm Davis stretch in the pitch on the way to Pete O'Brien fastball strike inside and go one the count rich Darcy at home plate umpire.
Now the right hander ready the old one pitch on the way to O'Brien swung on popped up right side of the infield coming down Frank White Bill Picotta the first baseman right there and it's going to be Piccola right in front of the bag to make the catch.
So two outs and Jay Buehner just beginning to get the feel of his long lost stroke.
After two injuries.
As a five game hitting straight.
And that five games hitting three and 33.
Junior is at third base Alvin Davis is over at first.
The under bent the knees the stretch now by storm Davis and the pitch on the way swung on foul away down the right field line way back in the play.
On one the count.
Really a kind of a eerie night here when you sit in on something like this that is so historical.
Now the right hander set in the old one pitch on the way to Buehner fastball.
A little bit this time one ball and one strike.
It's hard to describe in a way the feeling that you get something that has never happened.
All the thousands of games have been played in this tremendous sport at the Major League Levels two and one as the fastball misses high to Jay Buehner.
But goose pimples as big as cantaloupes when the Griffey's single sharply back to back here in the first and Ken has scored the two one pitch check swing foul.
On the right field line back about four or five rows new supply of baseballs run out the home plate umpire Rich Garcia.
The outfield the Bo Jackson and left Brian McCray and center Jim Eisen right in right.
Two balls two strikes on Buehner in the stretch the two two pitch to Jay Buehner bounces up to the plate fastball gets all the way back here comes the kid.
The kid will score. So dad scores and his son scores in the first to make it two to nothing.
Griffey Jr. scores on a wild pitch by Storm Davis. So junior comes all the way in from third the ball bounced about 45 feet in front of home plate.
It was way out almost on the carpet. So junior scores Alvin Davis goes to second base on the wild pitch.
So father and son single in the first father and son score in the first.
The only thing missing from this game is it should be June. It should be Father's Day.
Well look at both of them down on the bench down there. The pitch to Buehner outside ball for.
I mean it is airing.
Here is Edgar Martinez. They're making it happen with the base hits the excitement I'm sure the adrenaline is blowing all the media before the ball game and now they can concentrate on playing baseball.
What a great start for Ken Griffey and for Ken Griffey Jr.
So here is Edgar Martinez digging himself a toe hole only for the second time this year is he under 300.
Back on the 16th of July he was hitting 299 here on the final day in August 299 the pitch strike outside corner on one.
There is two runs three hits here in the first two of them by the Griffey tandem.
Now the right hander is set the pitch on the way to Edgar fastball low in the dirt that kept in front by Mike McFarlane.
The catcher Storm Davis would be interesting to know if senior face Storm Davis in the one year partial year he was with the San Diego Padres one would guess that he probably has.
Now the stretch the one one pitch on the way down low again in the dirt and boy he is really working over Mike McFarlane as Storm Davis.
Two balls and a strike.
Storm Davis visited at the mound now by Mike McFarlane.
Of course while Storm Davis was with Baltimore Griffey was with New York and he's probably faced him on several occasions.
Edgar Martinez the count two and one on it.
Alvin at second.
You know over at first and the two one pitch swung on ground ball hit back up the middle under a diving Steve Joe.
Mariner's lead at three to nothing.
Mariner's going more runs here on the bottom of the first than they did all last night.
Well here comes Scott Bradley who has had his success against Storm Davis.
All the while let's not forget that Storm Davis has beaten the Mariners 12 times while losing only five.
Left side of the infield.
The shortstop is calling he's under it and he makes the catch and an end to a very exciting and historic ending here at the Kingdome.
As both father and son single father and son score the Mariners pick up three three run four hits no error.
The Mariners lead to and junior walking over to dad as they go out to left field side by side saying something as they go out on defense here to start any number two.
So at the end of one it's already fun that the Mariners three the Royals number.

Moving to the second response for station identification this is the Marylanders Radio Network.
Hi I'm Ichabod Kane join me in the waking crew early mornings on the new don't leave your coffee cup there.
I'm sorry.
On the new KMPS Seattle.
Let's keep it that way.
Well here he is.
Bo Jackson stepping in to lead it off in the second inning for Kansas City.
The Marylanders leading it by a score of 3-0.
Bo coming off the disabled list on Sunday afternoon against this man Randy Johnson.
Here comes the line the pitch on the way to Bo and the slider swing and a miss.
The first pitch Randy threw to him in the second inning.
Bo hit it 450 feet away into the upper tier of the waterfall in dead center field.
The second longest home run ever hit at Royal Stadium.
The pitch on the way to Bo and the pitch is down low ball one one ball and one strike.
The longest home run he hit was in his rookie year of 86 and that coming against Mariner Mike Moore.
He estimated at 485 feet.
Here comes the one one on the way to Bo Jackson swing and a miss.
The ball and two strikes.
Jackson put one where very few people have ever been in batting practice.
And that was in the upper deck in straight away left field right over the entrance way where the batting cage is left out onto the black cloth out there that is covering some seats.
They want to pitch to Bo Jackson now fastball high outside ball to two balls and two strikes.
Bo Jackson has been back only five games and he is homered in four of those five games and he has five of his 22 home runs against the Mariners.
The two two pitch to both swung on the line shot foul off the wall down the left field line.
Oh it is 22 home runs 64 RBI hitting 281.
Another see another month of baseball before it joins the Raiders.
Here comes the wind that to pitch to Bo Jackson and a backdoor slider will not come through the back door.
It's low and outside in the count is full three balls and two strikes.
Now the wind and the three to pitch on the way to Bo Jackson high outside so he got ahead of ball and lost it.
Jackson drops the first base with the first free ticket.
That'll bring up Mike McFarlane you know there's only one thing better than a Mariner win and that's celebrating that win with an ice cold Budweiser cause nothing.
Nothing beats a bud.
Mike McFarlane hitting 264.
Of course history being made here this evening in Major League Baseball and it is believed that this is only the second time in the history of professional sports.
Here comes the stretch in the pitch to McFarlane fastball a little inside ball one one ball and no strikes.
That a father and son have played on the same team at the same time.
You go to the National Hockey League with Gordy Howell played with sons Marty and Mark for the Hartford Whalers for a couple of years from 77 to 79.
The 1-0 pitch instead is a throw to first base and Bo Jackson back standing at the back.
Last year the Griffiths became the 111 father and son combination to play in the majors but the first to play in the majors at the same time.
The 1-0 pitch there goes Bo the pitch is a strike the throw through by Scott Bradley no way and Bo Jackson steals it easily.
His 12th steal of the year he's caught eight times.
And the fastball is taken right down the middle.
So Bo Jackson at second base in scoring position with nobody out.
On the scoreboard the Boston Red Sox win again.
And the Boston Red Sox look like they're doggedly on their way to the Eastern Division title a six and a half game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays who are leading the fifth swing and a foul back by McFarlane.
And a count of ball and two strikes. Blue Jays are winning in the bottom half of the eighth inning in Cleveland by a score of 11 to 8.
Boston wins 7-3 and the Red Sox have won eight ball games in a row.
A ball and two strikes on Mike McFarlane here with the Mariners leading it three to nothing in the second.
The stretch in the 1-2 pitch on the way high all the way to the backstop and Bo Jackson easily trots down to third a wild pitch.
So a walk stolen base a wild pitch and the Royals 90 feet away from his score here without having a hit.
Two balls and two strikes. Randy Johnson has to control his emotions.
Randy has all the talent to become a consistent 20 game winner for the next four or five years but he's got to conquer Randy Johnson.
Here comes the southpaw stretch. The 2-2 pitch to McFarlane and a swing and a miss and a good slider down he goes.
So the second strikeout now for Randy. One down and here comes Jimmy Eisenreich with a four game hitting streak.
The infields still playing back they will give up the run for an out. Junior moves over into left center field.
Grippy, Ken straight away in left. The gap is in right center field for Eisenreich and the pitcher on the way to him now and the fastball is swinging a foul straight back.
On one to count. One thing you got to say about Randy Johnson when he gets in a jam he's about as tough as any pitcher you want out there.
He'll come right after you and he has tremendous success in situations like this where runners are third and less than two outs.
Pitcher on the way to Eisenreich now and the fastball. Low ball one. One ball and one strike.
Eleven to six the Tigers leading the twins in the eighth inning at the Metrodome after taking two out of three from the Mariners here.
The one one pitch by R&J to Eisenreich and a slider swing and a miss. One and two.
White Sox in California the Angels have won five in a row. Scorless in the second. Oakland hosting Texas.
The Rangers have lost three in a row and they lead Texas one nothing in the second.
The one two pitcher on the way to Eisenreich's slider swung on fly ball. Popped up in the shallow right center field. I think it's deep enough though.
Griffey is coming over makes the catch. Here comes ball the throw to the plate not nearly in time and way offline.
So the sacrifice fly for Eisenreich. Eisenreich picking up his 48th RBI and it is a 3-1 ball game Mariners but with two down now and Bill Picotta the hitter.
Number 32 Bill Picotta. Picotta hit a home run off Randy Johnson in the second inning on the first pitch.
That was the inning that R&J gave up the two home runs a two run home run to Bowe and then the solo to Picotta.
The pitch to Picotta slider strike outside edge at the knees 0-1. Milwaukee 4-1 over the struggling Baltimore Orioles in the eighth.
The 0-1 pitch Picotta takes high ball one one ball and one strike. Cubs beat the Reds 4-3. Montreal snap the Dodgers winning streak at five with a 5-2 victory.
Here comes the next delivery on the way to Picotta a little bit low. So Picotta with the count two balls and one strike on him.
Randy Johnson holding that love right up under his nose goes to the line to the 2-1 pitch and it's low and then side ball 3-3 and one.
Mariners three runs four hits. The Royals one run no bits. Mets win again. Boy they are tough at home they beat the Giants 4-3.
The 3-1 pitch to Picotta swung on and felt it deep to left field and that will fly away and Bill Picotta has Randy Johnson's number.
That was a lot longer than the ball he hit in Kansas City and all of a sudden after a three nothing lead Randy Johnson has given up two to Kansas City and the Royals jump right back in the ball game.
It is created to Bill Picotta only his fourth home run and two of them that have come against Randy Johnson and it wasn't a cheapy way up around the aisle way and straight away left field.
He was waiting on the 3-1 pitch he got the fastball and boom it was out of here in a hurry. Well here's Frank White the pitch to White the fastball very high.
Ball one, one ball and no strikes. White only three hits away from 2,000 in his outstanding career.
Randy's 1-0 pitch on the way to Frank in the slider low and inside ball two two balls and no strikes.
Scott Bradley wants to go out and try and settle down Randy Johnson. Well it seems like when you get three runs that's the inning you've got to go slam the door.
Show me going to be tough but the walk the stolen base the wild pitch the sacrifice fly and now Picotta goes long he goes deep very deep.
And Kansas City back to within one the 2-0 pitch to Frank White now swinging a miss two balls and a strike.
Phillies beat San Diego tonight 4-2 Atlanta over the Cardinals by a score of 4-1 and the Pirates leading Houston 2-0 in the bottom half of the ninth.
At the Astrodome and you're right up to date on all the scores.
The 2-1 pitch on the way to White now swung on and that's belted right down the left field line into the corner and that's off the glass.
One hopper to Ken Griffey the throw to second base and holding with a long single Frank White.
Griffey playing the ball perfectly off the glass.
That ball up another couple of feet and we would have been tied.
And here's the switch hitting shortstop Steve Jelts.
The home sitting only 1-49. Friends Sunday September the 23rd the new Mariners salute kids with a special appreciation day at the Kingdome.
Against the Chicago White Sox that will be the last home date here.
This big day begins at noon with a baseball clinic conducted by the Mariners on the field and the youngsters who come with a group will watch on the field in a pregame parade and see the famous chicken from San Diego.
Here's the pitch to Steve Jelts swung on. Tapper hit right to first base one hop to Pete O'Brien as it takes it to the back.
But Kansas City comes back with a roar. They get two of the three back.
Two runs on only two hits. No errors and one royal is left.
As we go into the bottom half of inning number two Omar Vizcal, Harold Reynolds and then Ken Griffey.
After an inning and a half the M's three the Royals two.
The single most expensive ingredient in your beer isn't something you can see or taste.
It's called excise tax and it already cost this country's beer drinkers over three billion dollars a year.
Now they want to increase the federal excise tax on your beer raising its price again.
You've already given enough. Now it's time to let them know it.
Call 1-800-33-TAXES and tell them to can the beer tax.
A message from Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Missouri.
I know when my car needs attention before I hear strange engine noises.
Before red dashlights flash.
Before I get stranded on a dark road some late night.
To keep my car up I take it down to Chevron where they know what to change, what to check and how to be polite.
Chevron really does care for my car.
We're with you all the way Chevron.
And now another visit with Lefty Bender, baseball guy.
The way I look at it there are only two things a family can do on Monday night.
One is to watch reruns of Newhart.
The other is to come out to the Kingdome watch some big league baseball.
That's because every Monday home game is family two for one night.
What the heck you can always tape Newhart and watch him on Tuesday morning.
Mondays are family nights at the Kingdome this year.

Shortstop Omar Vizcal starts it off for the M's here in the bottom half of the second.
And Storm Davis his first pitch is gunning down the third base line.
Fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair on the line.
Fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, wow.
Wow.
It was right on the paint and the third baseman Siteser just following it down the third base line.
As was home plate umpire Richie Garcia.
I thought it was going to stay fair. Have another look at it.
It's fair, right on the line and kicks off fair and then at the last moment foul.
I'm surprised Siteser didn't get down on his hands and knees and try to blow it foul.
If the ball stayed fair Omar Vizcal would have had a fun double because he was out at second base.
He stopped halfway between first and second. He saw that Siteser was going to continue to watch it roll down the line and then he broke for second base.
He made it easily but the ball just trickled over into foul territory.
Speaking of that blowing it foul the fans here well know that that's illegal.
Ronnie Randall did it once and it would not have been allowed.
Here comes the wind and the pitch on the way to Vizcal.
The fastball strike across the letters and he's quickly in the hole.
No balls and two strikes but I'll never forget that as long as I live.
One of the great moments in Mariner history with Ronnie Randall blowing the ball foul and of course the umpire just allowing it.
The 0-2 pitch on the way now and the fastball high.
Ball one, one ball and two strikes.
Amos Otis, Kansas City was here I believe it was Amos Otis who hit that ball.
Playing with Kansas City at the time the 1-2 delivering on the way now and it's high inside.
Ball two, two balls and two strikes.
Ken Griffey on deck.
Now the right hander's sad and the 0-2 pitch on the way to Griffey.
Fastball Steve right three call right across the inside corner.
One down and here comes Griffey.
A 40-year-old veteran on the second fifth storm to him hit a bullet that almost tore the head of Storm Davis off right back up the middle.
Griffey now two fouls and one hit in his career.
148 home runs.
We're hitting 2-0-6 with Cincinnati this year in a part-time role.
Here comes the Storm Davis stretch.
The pitch on the way to Griffey and the breaking ball low inside.
Ball one, one ball and no strikes.
Griffey's best home run game.
He had three home runs in a game while playing with the Atlanta Braves against the Phillies in July of 86.
The 1-0 pitch on the way to Griffey, swing and a miss this time and a count of ball and a strike.
It's done. Junior is on deck.
Griffey walking to the right of that left-handed batter's box.
That's that plate once.
The skill over first to stretch, the pitch to Griffey, the breaking ball low inside.
Ball two, two balls and a strike.
Griffey right down to the knob at the bat.
The stretch, the 2-1 pitch to Griffey now way inside.
Fins out of the way, ball three, three balls and one strike.
Storm Davis, 28 years of age.
Here comes the stretch and the 3-1 pitch to Griffey now on the fastball, low inside, ball forward.
Here comes the kick.
Junior, the fake hit in the right field after Griffey single left the middle is bad.
In the first and a both came around the score.
Griffey, Griffey on the fake hit by Alvin Davis and Junior on the wild hit by Storm Davis.
Junior with 155 hits now.
That's one behind Wade Boggs going into today's game.
That's one, seven, three and we haven't seen what Boggs did.
The pitch, going on and up down the first baseline.
Quickly Storm Davis on it.
He'll throw the first in time and everybody moves up 90 feet.
Junior is out one, three.
Omar ends up at third and Griffey at second.
Here's Alvin Davis.
Alvin, the fake hit to Griffey.
That's one, Griffey in the first inning.
Wade Boggs went one to five for the Boston Red Sox today.
They'll take the bat away from Alvin Davis and take their chances on Vito Vine, an intentional base on balls.
That means that four walks will have been issued by Storm Davis.
They will set up and out at every base.
And Vito Vine of course has been struggling.
Three outside and now ball four.
O'Brien pops up to first in the first inning.
O'Brien, you know what's deep in his heart, man.
He's having trouble this year, having the worst year of his career.
He's injured a couple of times and on the disabled list, and he's never been on the disabled list in his professional career.
And the fans on him a little bit, as you can hear, and he's got that great desire to pop one out of here.
The bases are loaded with two outs with this young Ken Griffey at second base.
Alvin Davis over first to line the pitcher on the way to O'Brien and it's flung on and wow, straight back over the screen.
And it'll run to the level right below us.
One strike on Vito O'Brien.
He's dropped a couple of bases loaded in his career.
Two grand strom home runs, his last one, the front of the eighth game from 1988.
And the O'One pitch on the way to him now.
Pop ball flung on, ground ball hits the first.
Right to Dakota behind the bag, you'll carry it to the sack and that will be that.
So the Mariners are denied here in the second.
No run, no hit, no errors.
Then the M's lead three and at the end of two at the goal tonight, the Mariners three, ends the city two.

This is Dave Nehous along with Rick Riz, Kevin Kremen, our producer engineer from the Kingdom
where the man has played the Kansas City Royals by a score of 3-2.
Moving into the third inning of play.
Tomorrow, half an hour earlier, 6.36, our broadcast time is Billy Swift and Kim Campbell hookup.
And then Sunday, 1.06, Brian Holman and flight court.
Already a very exciting ball game because the two griffys single shot play and they both scored in the first inning.
So we move to the third and put a play. Here's Rick.
Thank you Dave and Kevin Sightster, Brian McRae, Danny Tynable will hit for Kansas City.
Here on the top of inning number three, Randy Johnson took care of each of those three in the first inning.
Then ran into some trouble in the top of the second when Bo Jackson walked, later scored on a sacrifice fly by Jim Eisenweig.
And then Bill Prokota hit a home run way out the left field.
So Kevin Sightster right handed hitter is 0-1 tonight. He's popped up to beat O'Brien at first base.
Here's the pitch. Swing and a foul ball out of play in the first base side and it's 2-1 on Sightster.
Indeed an exciting evening here in the Kingdome.
See the griffys, both of them in the outfield. Ken Griffey on the left, junior and center.
History making night. Here's the 0-1 pitch. Fast ball and it's just inside on Sightster.
Ball one, one ball and one strike.
From Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, we'll come away with a few mementos from this ball game.
The line up card, pictures of the two together.
Randy Reddy and here's the 1-1 on the way to Sightster. Swing and a fly ball into shallow center field.
Going out, Vesquell and Reynolds. It'll be a short stop.
Omar Vesquell who puts it away. One down. Brings up center fielder Brian McRae.
He's a classy young gentleman. He was signed by the Royals back in 1985.
Brian and his dad Hal went to spring training together in 86 with Kansas City.
And the story back then was maybe it would be the McRae's who would make it to the major leagues at the same time as their father and son combo.
Hal McRae and Brian McRae. Here's the line in the pitch on the way to Brian. Swing and a foul ball on the third base side.
And the count is on one. McRae, just 23 years of age, classy kid.
Doing a good job. He's coming up from Double A Memphis on August the 7th.
Another chance to visit with Brian on a pregame show a few days ago in Kansas City.
Switch hitter back from the right side. The O-1 pitch. Fastball swing and a pop up outside of first.
So Brian will have a play. Pete gets over in front of the feet. Makes the catch. Two down.
So quickly two outs for Kansas City here with a third. That'll bring up designated hitter Danny Tynable.
But to finish the thought, Brian said, I knew I was going to get called up.
I thought I was on my way to Omaha, but on August the 7th, he found out he was heading to the major leagues for the first time.
Danny Tynable, 0 for 1. Struck out on an 0-2 fastball. In the first inning, the pitch.
Low and inside and off the glove of the catcher, Scott Bradley gets behind him for ball one.
1-0 Randy Johnson looking for his first career win against Kansas City.
0-1 against the Royals last year. 0-1 against Kansas City this year.
Down the 1-0 pitch. Slider swing and a fly ball into shallow straightaway center field.
Again, Griffey Jr. races in, slides and he traps the ball on a hop. It's a very good for Danny Tynable.
Jr. came racing in. He was pulled just a little bit on the swing and got a little bit of a late break on the ball.
Because of the big swing by Danny Tynable, but the ball wasn't going anywhere.
He tried to make the adjustment, came in quickly and sliding on one leg.
He was able to reach it but on a hop. And Danny Tynable is safe at first base with a 2-out single in the center.
A lot of times an outfielder can get easily fooled on the swing when the hitter takes a big cut, but the ball just doesn't go anywhere.
As the hitter gets it off the handle or off the end of the bat.
Here's Bowe. Left fielder Bowe Jackson who walks to second with the third on the wild pitch and scored on Eisenreich's sacrifice fly.
The pitch in the way, swing and a foul ball out of play on the first base side and it's 0-1 on Bowe Jackson.
You talk about strong.
Bowe Jackson is just poured into the powder blue road uniform of the Kansas City Royals.
Jackson batting 281. He is eighth in the league with 22 home runs.
He's been a month on the DL. Here's the 0-1 pitch. Fastball misses high. Ball one. One ball and one strike and he has 64 runs banded in.
He has put up some big numbers since getting to the major leagues in 1986.
Here's the stretch and the 1-1 pitch on the way and it's just outside ball two.
Two balls and a strike on Bowe Jackson.
Center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. shaded in the left center field. Ken Griffey is straight away in deep and left.
Johnson ready and the 2-1 pitch. The ball swing and a ground ball left of the Scalise over gloves it underhands the Reynolds at second base.
Full of force there on Danny Pannable to retire the side.
In the top of the third for the Royals. No runs, no hits, no errors and a man left on.
And after two and a half innings of play here in the kingdom, it's the Mariners three Kansas City two.
When I was growing up, I can remember Mr. Walker, the agent from the founder's insurance group of companies coming by.
Are you here to see my new baby sister Mr. Walker?
That's right Timmy, but first let's get a look at you. Ah, I thought you was a big fella.
Yeah, I'm five years old now.
He was always friendly, but through the years he stopped by to see if there were any changes in the family's insurance needs.
Got a new car, huh Tim?
Yeah, what do you think of it Mr. Walker?
Beautiful, it's beautiful.
Well, now that I'm grown, Mr. Walker is just as friendly as ever and he's still reviewing the family's insurance needs just like always.
Alright Tim.
How are you Jack?
So, this is Timothy Jr.
I guess that's why they call it the farmer's friendly review, that's exactly what it is.
For all of your farmer's insurance needs, see Patrick McMullen, Jim O'met, or Carolyn Pacheco in their offices at 7808 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma.

Mariner's League Kansas City, 3-2 as we go to the bottom half of inning number 3.
Right fielder Jay Buhner will lead it off for the Mariner's followed by third baseman Edgar Martinez and then catcher Scott Bradley.
Patience along the line, we're going to pause for an ID right after we take a look at Jay Buhner who walked in the first inning.
Storm Davis' first pitch of fastball is fouled away into the upper deck.
Off the right end it's on one to Cannon Jay.
Hitting 247 he has five home runs and 20 runs batted in.
Working on a five game hitting streak, six hits in his last 18 at bats. Davis delivers.
Fastball lowed outside, ball one, one ball and one strike.
I want to thank Bob Spaniker for a tremendous painting of Dave and myself.
Bob works it bowling, here's the pitch on the way swinging a ground ball up the middle.
Jelts guy can't get there, it's a base hitter to center field for Jay Buhner leading off a third.
And with that let's pause for station identification. This is the Seattle Mariner's Radio Network.
The new KMPS Seattle, famous for a better mix of country favorites, played 12 in a row. And Ichabod Kane and the Waking Crew, continuous country KMPS.
Jay Buhner on his first base, nobody out and here's third baseman Edgar Martinez.
Bob Spaniker, very talented artist Dave, he's the best man, beautiful pictures, one of the nicest things I've ever received Bob, thank you so much.
Low picked up right away by the catcher Mike McFarland but holding a first base Jay Buhner.
You want to know the kind of Martinez, but he painted a picture of yourself, here's Julian, did a great job right out of the media guy.
Bob, Bob that's going up in my den. Bob Spaniker right now listening to the broadcast somewhere out there in left field. Thank you Bob.
Here's the stretch on the pitch and away the runner goes, swinging a one hopper right back to Davis, has time to go back to second for one.
The relay to first base is in time for the double play. Well they hit the run but Edgar Martinez got it right back and a hopper to pitch to Storm Davis.
He had plenty of time to wheel around and go back to second for the four-side dealer to throw back to first base for a double play.
And there are two outs, brings up catcher Scott Bradley.
Bob if you get a chance and you're listening out in left field, come on up there anytime this evening. We'd like to thank you in person.
Scott Bradley takes high and inside for ball one. Two outs, nobody on bottom of the third. Mariners lead the Royals 3-2.
Yes indeed Bob if you get a chance, come on by the booth.
Here's the one-o-fence, Shannetts who will go on outside ball two. Two balls and no strikes.
Bradley Operwani popped up to shortstop Steve Jeltz for the final out in the first. Scott hitting 232 with a home run and 27 RBIs.
Davis the line, Davis the pitch. High and outside, ball three. Three balls and no strikes to Scott Bradley on deck shortstop Omar Vizcal.
Play off the line at third base as Kevin Sites or the outfield is straight away.
Here's the three-nothing pitch on the way and it's a fastball for a strike. Three and one.
Nice crowd tonight here on the Kingdome to see the Griffys and the Mariners take on Kansas City.
Here's the three-one pitch. Swing and a line drive left field coming in quickly as Jackson and he can't handle it. He gets behind him.
Bradley hitting for second. Balls throw to second base out in time and Scott Bradley winds up on his second base.
I'm sure that'll be one and one.
They hit it in an air on Jackson.
Yeah.
Bo Jackson came in quickly to try to get in on the short hop but it bounced away and he is charged with an air.
But gives Scott Bradley a base and a single and an air on Bo Jackson that allows Bradley to go from first to second.
Here's shortstop Omar Vizcal. Well friends, Saturday, September the 1st is going to be a special night here in the Kingdome as the M's host these Kansas City Royals.
Here's the pitch on the way to Omar inside.
Ball one in addition to it already being Washington natural gas-fitted scarf night, there's a spectacular Labor Day fireworks show following the ball game.
This fireworks is to have a Ganses compliments of Coca-Cola and promises to be the biggest indoor fireworks show ever in Seattle.
Swing and a fly ball left center field on the run. Ball and Jackson makes the catch for out number three.
Omar Vizcal flies out and that's it for the M's in the bottom of the third.
No runs, two hits, one air and a man left on and after three names to play the Mariners have stranded sixth.
We go to the fourth-hour score the Mariners three Kansas City two.
What do you say? Nothing beats a bird.
Cool down the fire. Way down here on the fire.

Well the Mariners lead Kansas City by one, three to two. We go to the top of the fourth inning, Mike McFarlane, Jim Eisenreich and Bill Picotta will come to the plate for the Royals.
Left-hander Randy Johnson making his 27th start of the season a record of a solid eight and his second start of the year against Kansas City. Three-two Mariners lead and for the play-by-play. Here's Dave.
And a reminder that this season every Sunday game is a two-for-one seniors day. You fans aged 60 and older can purchase half-price tickets in the Vospa Club and a few level seating areas. The next senior day, of course, is right around the corner. This Sunday, September the 2nd, Kansas City will be here at 1.35.
You get to see Brian Holman duel Tom Flash Gorton. Well here's Mike McFarlane, the strikeout victim in the second inning. To face Randy Johnson in the fourth of three, two Mariners lead. The line by the big unit and his first pitch down low and inside the breaking ball.
One ball and no strikes. The Mariners three in the first. Kansas City answered with two in the second. And here we are in the fourth. Randy Johnson has thrown 54 pitches in the game. And Randy back with the 1-0 pitch now. That's going on and the ground ball hit right to Vizcela.
A short stop has it and throws across the little looping sinker. Went on the money and plenty of time to get to feed O'Brien before Mike McFarlane reaches the bag. So McFarlane has done six three. And Jimmy Eisenreich will be the hitter. Eisenreich the sacrifice fly in the right center field.
To pick up Bo Jackson from third base, Jackson walks to second with wild pitch to third. And then Dakota followed with a long ball. The pitch to Eisenreich and a swing and a miss out in front of a breaking ball. 0-1, three runs, six hits for the ends. Two runs, three hits and one error for Kansas City.
Randy Johnson back with the one strike pitch now. The fastball notion and he held up apparently. No appeal made down to Rock. Rocky Roll outside 1-1.
Now the big guy back with the 1-1 pitch and the breaking ball outside ball two. Two balls and one strike. An exciting evening of history here at the Dome tonight before a nice crowd of right around 25-26,000. The 2-1 pitch to Eisenreich and a slider swing and a miss.
Two balls and two strikes. Eisenreich to be followed by Picota. Second stop for Kansas City before City Tour. The 2-2 pitch by the big guy. Fastball swung on, ground ball hit to Reynolds charging to his right across his body throws. Eisenreich is out by a step.
So two down and Kansas City's fourth and Bill Picota who took a 3-1 fastball way out of here. Way back into the bleachers and left field. In the second inning the hitter now.
On the scoreboard games underway. Chicago with California. The Angels have won five in a row. There is no score in the fourth.
That ball game. Hibbard against Langston. The pitch. Fastball high inside to Picota. Ball one. One ball and no strikes. Open with a 3-1 lead over Texas in the fourth.
Here comes a line to no one-oh pitch on the way now to Picota. Slider strike at the knees this time and it counts one ball and one strike.
Well-scoring for his 22nd victory in that ball game. Swung on, fly ball hit into deep left center field. The kid is back there though and junior makes the catch to retire the tie. In the fourth. No runs. No hits. No errors and nobody left.
And as we go to the bottom of the fourth it will be more excitement time because it's time for Reynolds and the Griffys. After three and a half. And there's three. Royals two.

This is Dave Nehouse along with Rick Rears and Kevin Tremond moving into the bottom half. In the number 4 at the Kingdome an exciting night. A historical night for Mariners leading Kansas City 3-2. And to the top of the order for Harold Reynolds to lead it off against Tom Davis.
And this is our Denny Cairo home run inning. The pitcher on the way and the fastball taken high by Harold ball one. One ball and no strikes. Joseph Northlanks. M-O-R-T-H-L-A-N-X from Kent is our contestant here in the fourth and the pitcher on the way to Harold now.
Fastball taken upstairs. Two two balls and no strikes. Joe predicts that a Mariner will hit a home run here in the fourth. Joseph if you're right you'll win our Yatsana prize money of $275 as we start all over again.
The winner just recently. Marked a $200 gift certificate from Denny's restaurants. But Joseph Northlanks and Kent. The pitch to Reynolds. Swung on ground ball hit right to Frank White at second base.
The veteran throws him out. So Reynolds is gone for three and here comes Ken Guppy. Guppy in his debut in his first game in a Mariner uniform. A single and scored and he is lost.
And the fans love him already. And then aboard both times. Storm Davis into his wind the pitcher on the way and Davis gets a spike in that just as he starts into his wind up and has to step off.
Here comes the pitch on the way to Guppy. High and inside the fastball ball one. One ball and no strikes.
So that hit in the first his first hit is a Mariner two thousand and ninety one hits. The one old pitch on the way to Griffey now and the fastball taken for a Steve Reich outside corner one ball and one strike.
And the American Leagues with the New York Yankees and the one one pitch on the way to Griffey now and the breaking ball down low and inside ball one one ball and one strike and at time little did we know how the Griffey legend would make its way into the Pacific Northwest.
And the one pitch to Griffey swinging the miss this time in a count two balls and two strikes. Played with the Yankees in 1982 83 84 and part of 85 and 85 and part of 86 before being sent to Atlanta.
Two pitch to Griffey on the way swung on ground ball hit to the second baseman Frank White and that forty two year old throws out forty year old Ken Griffey soon to be forty two years old Frank White.
Remember a new box is a final box of the regular season in essence if you want to enter our contest simply enter by stopping by a participating Western Washington Denny's reference.
The kid is single and scored tapped back to the mound naturally up the first baseline the pitch fastball for a strike on one on junior three two Mariners.

We're defending the play here at the Kingdome tonight and a defensive change probably after Martinez who has had problems with that left hamstring might have pulled a little something or strained it or tightened up we don't know what some of the words from the
clubhouse will pass it along to you on the double play ball when he was caught in the middle of the tapper back to the mound actually it was Jay Buna was thrown out of second Martinez was thrown out by Big Margin at first and maybe he's trained something so Jeff Schaefer is taking over at third base now for Edgar Martinez as we go to the fifth inning of play in a three two ballgame Mariners and Frank White steps in and leads it off the pitch breaking ball outside ball one.
White took one off the grass in left field in the second inning and now only two hits away from 2000 the one oh pitch on the way to Frank in the slider strike right there at the knees one ball and one strike.
Number 20 on his back Frank White says he still wants to play baseball next year the pitch down low and inside.
He stepped out of the old Kansas City Royals Baseball Academy. The line that to one pitch to the Kansas City native swung on behind home plate upstairs.
Now the stadium high school is still up on the hill the two pitch on the way to right now swinging a ground ball pulled foul down the left field line right near the photographer as well and account two balls and two strikes.
I put two years on Frank White I apologize Frank.
He will be 40 on Tuesday.
Here comes the line that to two pitch to White swinging a miss out in front of a breaking ball.
Randy Johnson the strikeout that is his third of the evening.
Steve Jelts hit a ground ball right to Pete O'Brien in the second inning.
Jelts scratching at the chalk on the back of that right handed batter's box.
Jelts hitting only 148.
Wind the pitch to Steve Jelts now and the fastball strangely kept the knees on one.
Randy Johnson trying to win his 13th.
That's where Oakland leading Texas 3-2 and the bottom of the fourth.
The 0-1 pitch on the way. Jelts takes low and outside one ball and one strike with the White Sox leading Mark Langston and the Angels 1-0 in the top of the fourth at the big A.
Everything in the National League is over.
And the Johnson 1-1 pitch to Steve Jelts.
Strike slider outside edge. A ball and two strikes.
One out in the fifth.
3-2 Mariners. All three runs in the first. Royals two runs in the second.
The big unit back with the 1-2 pitch now.
Fastball high and inside so they count two and two.
A lot more manner action to come so open a cold Budweiser and get ready with that clean crisp cold taste that only comes from the king of beers.
At any part of the game, nothing beats a bug.
The 2-2 pitch. Swing and a foul by Jelts off the hands that time. That ball boring right in on him.
Once they do the count, two balls and two strikes on number two, Steve Jelts.
Jelts the X-Filly right up on top of the play. Switch hitter.
Getting 280 right handed. The 2-2 pitch on the way and the fastball line foul at the first base side back near the exit way.
Still two and two. Jelts hitting only 0-97 from the left hand side.
Two balls and two strikes.
Now the wind and the 2-2 pitch on the way down. The slightest one on line drive. One hopper hit right to the shortstop.
Now this guy takes a little pro hop and throws the first and 20 at five.
Thanking Steve Jelts and the Philadelphia Phillies from whence he came.
An old friend of Ray Shore, an assistant to Bill Giles, the owner of the Philadelphia Phillies here in attendance tonight.
Long time with the Cincinnati Reds and doing some scouting.
Snaps looks great after some heart surgery. The pitch on the way, fastball strike at the knees on one.
He feels good enough where he's played about eight or ten rounds of golf already, so that's great news to hear.
One-one on Kevin Sites who has fouled out the first pop to short.
And the 0-1 pitch on the way now. Fastball. Whoa, this time in the count even. One ball, one strike.
And a buzz around the Kingdome tonight.
And the Johnson one-one pitch on the way. Fastball foul off the first base side.
That will twist and grind its way over the aisle way into the exit.
I believe, maybe not, maybe just get over the exit down there. A ball and two strikes.
Change of baseball is requested by Randy Johnson. Rich Garcia complies.
Now the big unit ready to come in with a one-two delivery to Kevin Sites there.
And here she is. And it's a breaking ball making a fastball high. Not much of a break to that.
Two balls and two strikes.
The big unit back with the two-two pitch. Slider just high.
Three balls and two strikes. Brian McCray would be next.
Dave, I don't know what they're saying, but Junior and Center and Ken Griffey and Leftfield are having a great time.
They're just smiling back and forth and laughing, waving at each other.
They're having a super time tonight.
And the three-two pitch on the way now. And a breaking ball swung on.
Two-hopper hit right to the new third baseman, Jeff Schaefer. He has it and throws him out.
In the fifth, three up and three down. That's seven in a row retired by Randy Johnson now.
No runs, no hits, no errors, and no body left.
And as we go to the bottom half of inning number five, it'll be Alvin Davis, Steve O'Brien, and J.B. Buehner, two-up.
Four and a half gone another. High-five ball game.
Down to three and you'll be running, Mr. City.

As I was growing up, I can remember Mr. Walker, the agent from the Farmer's Insurance Group of companies, coming by.
Are you here to see my new baby sister, Mr. Walker?
That's right to me, but first let's get a look at you.
Ah, you're sure the big fella.
Yeah, I'm five years old now.
He was always friendly, but through the years, he'd stop by to see if there were any changes in the family's insurance needs.
Got a new car, huh, Tim?
Yeah. What do you think of it, Mr. Walker?
Beautiful. It's beautiful.
I know that I'm grown. Mr. Walker is just as friendly as ever.
And he's still reviewing the family's insurance needs, just like always.
All right, Tim.
How are you, Jack?
So, this is Timothy Jr.
I guess that's why they call it the Farmer's Friendly Review.
That's exactly what it is.
The Farmer's Friendly Review
Alvin Davis will start it off, Alvin with the RBI single in the first inning, and he also scored.
He was intentionally walked to load the bases in the second.
And then Pete O'Brien hit a ground ball to the first baseman, Bill Picotta, and Storm Davis had wibbled off the hook.
So, here we go into the bottom half of inning number five, and Storm Davis is delivering on the way to Alvin, the fastball across the letters for a strike call.
0-1.
Come on out tomorrow night now, and then Sunday afternoon, the M's will be gone for a week.
Here comes the 0-1 on the way to Alvin now, and it's a little bit outside in the low ball.
1-1, 1-1, while the M's are gone now, you might think in terms of when they return home, because it'll be your chance to look at,
it's what most people think yours truly included, the best club in baseball, because the Oakland Athletics will be here when we return for three big games.
Here comes the wind in the 1-1 pitch.
High ball, two, two balls and one strike.
The Lincoln-Saco & Company will be here on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the 10th, the 11th, and the 12th.
And that 12th is the last business person special of the year in afternoon game.
The 2-1 pitch to Alvin Davis, and it's taken high ball three.
Three balls and a strike to count.
And then the M's will go right back on the road after that three game series, but only for four against the Angels down in Anaheim, and then the final home stand of the year.
Where's the year gone?
The 3-1 pitch to Alvin Davis, and it's a breaking ball low and inside, ball four.
So Davis lead off face on balls here in the fifth.
That is the fifth walk given up by Storm Davis, and Pete O'Brien will be the hitter.
In the final home stand of the year, the Texas Rangers will be in for three, and then I think you would have to agree, the real surprise team of the year.
The Chicago White Sox will close out the home stand with four.
The M's end the year on the road with a couple in Detroit, three in Chicago, and three in Minnesota.
Here comes Pete O'Brien, the pitch to O'Brien, low inside, ball one, one ball and no strikes.
And the Mariners, of course, have, speaking of history, the final game ever played.
That's Kamisky Parton.
Coming up, here comes the 1-0 pitch on the way, high inside the fastball, and Storm now struggling with his control just a little bit.
Ball two, two balls and no strikes.
That will be something that Sunday afternoon in Chicago, it has been sold out for months.
Storm are ready in the 2-0 pitch. O'Brien sends a high pop foul on the right field line that's going to make its way back into the stands.
And let's pause for station identification on the Mariners radio network.
Continuous country KMPS. This is Stubbs.
Join me mid-days for more back-to-back country favorites played 12 in a row.
On the new KMPS Seattle.
The Mariners.
The Mariners are tired out there on the mound.
Gold chain dangling around his neck.
The stretch and the 1-1 pitch on the way to Buhner.
Strike two called.
Out on the outside corner, that's the fastball.
This time from Storm.
Jeff Schaefer, who took over for Edgar Martinez, is on deck.
And the pitch on the way to Buhner swung on.
Fly ball into the gap in right center field.
If he can get to that one, I don't believe it won't.
It's off the face of the wall.
Here comes Alvin.
Here comes Pete O'Brien around Trev.
A little hold in there on a double by Jay Buhner.
And it is 1-2.
Jay Buhner getting that stroke back, baby.
It's the year.
And he's getting back the power.
So Buhner picks up his 21st RBI.
The Mariners weighted by a score of 4-2.
And have two more in scoring position with no money out for Jeff Schaefer.
You bet. Jay Buhner is back.
He was down. He went the other way.
And hit it deep in the right center field off the wall.
So Buhner with two hits tonight.
He now has a six-game hitting streak.
And eight hits in his last 20 advance for a batting average of four hundredths of Jay Buhner.
Doing a great job swinging the bat over his last six games.
Well, here is Jeff Schaefer hitting 200.
The infield up now.
The pitch swung on.
Ground ball hit right down to Siteser at third base.
That won't do the job.
Siteser will throw out Schaefer easily.
Everybody has to hold.
And it will bring up Scott Bradley.
Schaefer is retired.
And here's Scott.
The point on Edgar Martinez has nothing to do with his hamstrings.
Apparently he strained or sprained a right index finger.
Swinging the bat in the third inning.
That would be the top hand on the bat and the top finger.
Here comes Scott Bradley.
The pitch to Bradley.
Ground ball hit right to White at second base.
And he'll throw him out.
So two outs and now the infield can drop back for Omar Vizcayl.
Boy, it has been tough in this situation.
A run already.
And two out there with the table set.
He needs a fly ball to get one.
A base hit to get two.
But you get two neat, easy hit ground balls.
One to third and one to second.
Now the pressure is on Omar.
Storm Davis.
Works from the full wind in the pitch to Omar Vizcayl now.
The fastball across the letters.
Strike called on one.
Mel Jr. continues to throw.
Mel Stoudelmeyer.
Seems to be a game of seniors and juniors, doesn't it anymore?
Sure does.
And the 0-1 on the way now to Omar.
Hi.
This time the fastball misses and they count one ball and one strike.
And the Davis delivery now.
1-1 to Vizcayl.
Outside corner strike is called by Rich Garcia.
1-2.
Davis ready to come with the 1-2 pitch to Omar Vizcayl.
Swung on, popped up on the infield in the shortstop.
Jels is right there.
Steve will make the catch.
Boy, I'll tell you, it should have been a fairly big inning for the Mariners,
but they end up getting only the one.
One run on one hit.
Two big ones left.
At second and third they were there with nobody out and the M's can't score them.
The Mariners have stranded eight in the ball game and that's the end of five.
Mariners now four.
Kansas City two.

Well we are through five here at the King.
Don't be delighted that you are with us.
I wish you were here because it is quite a night.
The excitement in the first inning with both father and son singling.
Well again Griffey and Junior and then they both scored in the ball game.
The Mariner scored three in the first and one more in the fifth.
Should have had more, but that's the way it's been going lately.
And I'll tell you one thing, this is a date the Mariners are glad to see come and go.
Glad to see come because the Griffey's are here in tandem.
Glad to see go because baby it is the last day of August.
And it has been a nightmare.
We start September tomorrow and hope you'll be with us in person out here at the Dome.
We are through five, four 2M's.
Here is Rick.
Thank you Dave.
Brian McRae will lead it off.
You bet.
The Mariners are very happy to see August go.
Brian McRae is 0 for 2.
He has grounded the first and also popped up to Pete O'Brien.
Shows the bunt, runs up on the pitch and he takes it for a strike.
0-1.
McRae, Tideable and Bo Jackson for the Royals here in the sixth inning.
The Mariners got a run in the bottom of the fifth inning,
but they had a chance to chase Storm Davis and could not deliver the knockout punch.
Swing and a foul ball out of play on the right field side.
Up into the crowd and it's 0-2 right away on Brian McRae.
One home run.
That was his first major league home run against the Mariners in Kansas City.
A three-run home run and that's what put the Royals way on in front of that particular ball game.
The outfield straight away.
Johnson the wide and Randy's 0-2 pitch.
Slider back door just misses.
Ball one.
One ball and two strikes.
Kansas City won three out of the four games in Kansas City against the Mariners.
Randy Reddy back with the 1-2.
Slider swinging a hot shot backhanded by Schaeffer.
Third on a hop toss across.
One away.
Nice play by Jeff Schaeffer.
He caught the ball on the line.
Third base umpire Rocky Ray Roll making the call.
Schaeffer made the throw anyway.
So Jeff Schaeffer making the catch on the fly.
Backhand in the ball.
Off his left shoe and he made the throw across the first base anyway.
He wasn't taking any chances.
So both ways, one away.
And here's designated hitter Danny Tattable.
The ball is one for two.
The pitch swing and a fallback.
Off the screen behind home plate.
On one Danny struck out in the first and he's singled.
A shallow fly ball into straight away center field in the third.
Kansas City playing some good baseball right now.
Winning seven of their last ten.
The 0-1 pitch stays outside.
Ball one.
One ball and one strike.
The Royals have gone 29 and 20 since the All-Star break.
One of the better home records in baseball.
At the Royals Stadium the Royals 40 and 29.
And on the road though they are 25 and 36.
Kansas City off to a slow start this year.
But they have turned it on because of number five George Brett.
And a host of others.
Here's a slider low inside.
Ball two.
Two balls and a strike.
George not playing tonight.
With a sore back and talking with manager John Wathen.
He might be in the lineup tonight for the middle game of the series.
One of the great players in the game.
Here's the pitch out of the way.
Low and inside.
Ball three.
Three and one.
Always a pleasure visiting with George Brett.
Seventeen years in the major leagues and he has put up Hall of Fame numbers.
Hitting over 390 since the All-Star break.
Back in May the average was down around 200.
But George not in the lineup tonight.
Johnson behind in the counters.
The 3-1 pitch to Tidal Bowl.
Low and inside.
Pops out of the glove.
The catcher Scott Bradley for ball four and Tidal Bowl is on at first base.
And that is the second walk given up by Randy Johnson.
One on and one out and here's left fielder Bo Jackson.
And he represents the time run at the plate.
So you don't want to make a mistake to Bo.
He'll put one into the upper deck before the ball game during batting practice.
Bo walked and scored in the second.
And his fielder's choice retired to side in the top of the third.
There's number 16 on the back of his Royals jersey.
Straight away deep and left Ken Griffey.
Randy Johnson ready.
Here's the pitch on the way.
Swing and a hot shot.
Fair ball down the left field line.
In toward the corner.
Bangs off the walls off to Ken Griffey.
Around the third goes Tidal Bowl.
Here's the throw to second base and they got a shot.
Bo Jackson out at second base.
Ken Griffey plays the carom quickly off the wall behind the Royals bullpen.
He fires in his right to Harold Reynolds in second base.
Tidal Bowl.
Jackson for the second out of the inning.
Ken Griffey.
What a night for the senior player.
17 years in the major leagues.
Griffey with an outstanding throw.
Tidal Bowl at second base.
Jackson with a single.
But he is out at second.
Do away.
What a play.
What a throw by Ken Griffey.
Look at this baby.
One hopper right on the money.
Bo Jackson was out by 10 feet.
Harold had the throw, had the tag waiting for him.
Roy what a debut for Ken Griffey.
Great throw by Ken Griffey.
On the left field corner.
Here's Mike McFarland.
The slider check.
Swing.
Did he go?
He did not.
He appealed down to the first base umpire Steve Palermo.
Ball one.
Jackson hit a tee shot that was just fair.
Maybe right on the left field line.
And the ball hit the curvature of the wall right by the Royals bullpen.
It bounced quickly out to Griffey.
Ken was right there on it in a hurry.
And he threw a one hop strike into Harold Reynolds.
To get Bo Jackson.
Here's the pitch and it's outside.
Ball two.
Two balls and no strikes.
So Danny Tidal is on the third base with two down.
Big play.
Because the tie and run is still at the plate.
Instead of being on its second base.
With only one away.
And now a run around a third with two down.
Johnson behind in the count.
Randy Reddy and here's the two hole pitch.
Slider for a strike.
And the count is now two and one.
And Randy is not afraid to throw that slider anytime.
Especially behind in the count.
He gets it in and the count is two and one.
And McFarland the catcher who is 0 for 2.
He has struck out and brought it out to short.
What a night for the Griffey's.
Offensively and now defensively as well.
Johnson's two one pitch.
Slider swing and a foul ball by the Mariners.
Third base dugout and the count evens out to two.
Kansas City winning six of the previous ten meetings against the Mariners this year.
They had a lot of success against the Mariners last year.
Winning nine of 13 games.
Ken Griffey big smile on his face.
He's talking to his son.
And he has been the entire night.
No two two pitch.
Fastball swing and a miss like three.
He places it on by Mike McFarland to retire the side.
Randy Johnson with strikeout number four.
That's it for Kansas City.
They leave Danny Tarnable over at third base.
Randy's waiting for Ken Griffey to come in.
And he'll get a high five from Ken Griffey as he makes his way to the dugout.
No runs. One hit. No layers.
A man left on and one outstanding defensive play by the elder Griffey.
And after five and a half innings of play the Mariners still lead Kansas City four to two.

Mariners lead the Royals 4-2.
One at night for the Griffys.
Here's the lineup by Storm Davis on the 0-1 pitch.
Fastball misses low and inside ball one.
One ball and one strike.
This story has to be made into a movie.
Somewhere in Hollywood the wheels have to be turning.
This one deserves to be on the big screen.
Here's the 1-1 pitch on the way.
Swing and a miss by Reynolds.
Off-speed pitch by Storm Davis 1-2.
I guarantee you it will be.
Maybe not on the big screen but it will be made into some kind of a miniseries.
I'll bet you for television.
Oh, what a story unfolding tonight here in the Kingdome.
The pitch on the way.
Swing and a foul.
Ouch!
Right off his front foot and Reynolds comes up hobbling to the right side of home plate.
And the counter still 1-2 on Harold.
Big screen, little screen.
Medium sized screens.
And this is a story for everybody to enjoy.
Both Griffys with a base hit.
Ken Griffey.
Ken Griffey Jr.
Both scoring a run tonight.
Ken Griffey throwing out Bo Jackson at second base after he singles sharply down the left
field line and it wasn't even close.
Outstanding play by Ken Griffey to nail Bo Jackson in the top of the sixth inning.
After he nailed one just there down the left field line.
Reynolds tonight 0-3.
The pitch by Davis.
Swing and a ground ball to the right of Frank White.
He gets there.
The throw back to first.
One away.
Reynolds is retired 4-3.

Jackson is there in left center field and he flags it down.
He makes the catch.
Griffey flies out to retire the side.
Ken Griffey Jr.
In the bottom of the sixth inning for the Mariners.
No runs, no hits, no errors.
Nobody left on.

Rick Riz along with Dave Nehous, Producer, Engineer, Kevin Kremen, here on a most historic night here on the Dome

They beat the 49ers. Now they start playing for real.
Here's Eisenreich hitting 2-96.
Baroners and everybody else in baseball with a month to go.
Swing and a miss by Eisenreich on the first pitch.
Oh, and one. After tonight's game, only 31 games left for the Mariners this year.
Johnson is the 0-1 pitch.
Leiter's swinging a fly ball into shallow center field.
The kid is there. Junior waits.
Very nonchalantly, makes the easy catch, one away.
And Ken Griffey Jr. and Ken Griffey continue to talk things up in the outfield.
This is amazing, just watching these two gentlemen play.
And it's incredible on both ends, the story of these two guys playing in the Major Leagues at the same time,
now with the same ball club.
Ken Griffey at 40 years of age, incredible that he's been able to play so long and so well.
Bill Picotta turns the bun and he takes the pitch for a strike on one.
He had a home run way out the left field back in the second.
He's flying to center last summer for the fourth.
And then on the other side, Ken Griffey Jr. making it to the Major Leagues.
He's a 19-year-old kid last year.
Just incredible. The 0-1 pitch, strike, two called on the outside corner, no balls and two strikes.
First time it's ever been done in the history of the game of baseball and maybe the only time.
You never know. The 0-2 pitch, swinging a chopper down the first base line,
fair running behind the bag goes Pete O'Brien.
He's got it, goes to the bag for the three unassisted put on and Bill Picotta two away.
So in the meantime, after Randy Johnson was wobbling back in the second,
he has settled out and pitted some excellent baseball.
Looked at only four batters in the third. He retired the side in order in the fourth and again in the fifth.
Looked at only four batters in the sixth and now he has two quick outs.
Here in the Royals, half of the seventh. Mariners lead 4-2.
Here's second baseman Frank White, the pitch, long outside, ball one.
Griffey in left field, 40 years of age. Frank White about ready to turn 40.
Royals also have catcher Bob Boone who is 42.
Johnson ready, the one-hole pitch, low and inside, ball two, two balls and no strikes.
There's a number of fellows over the last eight years that have been around.
They've been around a lot longer.
They've put together some long, brilliant careers into their early 40s.
Here's the line down there, two-hole pitch, strike call two and one on Frank White.
Two things have done that. First of all in the American League it's a designated hitter and overall it's big money.
A lot of big money.
Dolan Ryan at the age of 43, Charlie Huff, 42 years of age, pitching for Texas.
The pitch outside, a white, two white, ball three, three and one to count on the Royals' second baseman.
Frank hitting two-fifteen, two home runs, 19 runs batted in.
Brandi DeWine down to three-one pitch, slider for a strike on the inside corner.
The count is full on White, three and two.
Adrian Garrett coaching down at third.
Bob Schaeffer at first base for Kansas City.
Most of the scoring done early tonight.
Here's DeWine down to three-two pitch, swing and a ground ball out to Schaeffer at third.
Jeff has it, toss across and it's one, two, three.
For the Royals in the seventh inning, no runs, no hits, no airs, no funny left on.
The fans here in the kingdom, 27,000 plus, will take their seventh inning stretch after six and one half innings.
Our score, the Mariners four, Kansas City two.

The organizers of a recent national sports event had a slight coordination problem.
How to link 34 events in six different cities.
So GTE designed and maintained the network that not only connected people to information,
but made it possible for the competition to begin.
You see, at GTE, it's not just communications we offer, it's solutions.
GTE. The power is mine.
Designated hitter Alvin Davis will lead off the bottom of the seventh inning as the Baron is late Kansas City 42.
He'll be followed by first baseman Peter O'Brien and then right fielder Jay Buhner.
You betcha, this is kind of a goose bumpy kind of a night.
With Ken Griffey on the left, Ken Griffey Jr. in center field,
Mothersen-Comble first time in the history of the game playing on the same ball club.
And if a game like this doesn't make you a little kid, no matter what age you are, I don't know what will.
Here's the pitch on the way to Alvin, swinging a line drive left center field.
That will drop in and it gets on by Bull all the way to the wall.
Backhanded by McRae, Davis will wind up on its second base.
That should go as a double. It was hit in the gap. Jackson had to go to his left.
Alvin Davis will wind up at second base.
I tell you though, Mo Jackson won't ever make anybody forget Joe Rudy out there in left field.
No he won't.
He has, he packs the ball in Kansas City, too, you might recall.
I'll take it, I'll take it.
He had a rough time on that line here, the screaming line drive in the left center field.
Davis on its second and here's first baseman Peter O'Brien.
Once again the shift is on for Pete, three infielders on the right side, the pitch on the way and Davis keeps it inside.
Storm Davis, ball one, and that's where he will try to keep it.
O'Brien with the shift on, second baseman Frank White is a good five steps in shallow right field.
Shortstop Steve Jeltz, way on the other side of second, sites are the only infielder on the left side, swinging a line drive, pow!
On a hop, it sizzles right in the middle of the Baroness bullpen.
A scatter and a fan makes a nice catch on one hop, and the count is even on Pete O'Brien, one ball and one strike.
There is a chance to pan their two run lead with a base hit here.
Storm Davis is ready, here's the one, one, fifth swing and a line drive and a hop taken by White in shallow right field.
And from right field he throws out Pete O'Brien at first base and on the play Davis goes to third.
So Pete O'Brien hits it to the right side to send Davis along to third, he gets that job done.
Let's pause for station identification, this is the Seattle Baroness Radio Network.
When you hear country favorites, it's on continuous country KMPS.
A better mix of great country songs played 12 in a row, the new KMPS Seattle.
Alvin Davis on a third base, one out, bottom of the seventh, four two M's and here's right fielder Jay Buna.
The pitch, strike called 0-1 and now a healthy fly ball gives you another run.
As Pete O'Brien's ground ball was able to get Alvin Davis from second or third.
The infield half way up the middle, a little closer at the corners, the quarter at first, sites her over at third base.
Davis is 0-1 pitch, high and away, ball one, one ball and one strike.
Jay Buna tonight has walked single, doubled and has a run batted in and now time is called.
Here comes John Wathen and the Kansas City trainer out to check up on Storm Davis.
Storm Davis immediately after throwing that pitch, walked off the mound, grabbed his side and there's something might have caught, might have pulled.
And immediately the catcher Mike McFarland goes out there and now the Kansas City Medical Corps along with Duke Lotham wanting to be sure that Storm Davis is alright.
That pitch way high and outside and then after when he just did a little hop on that left leg and I guess he's going to be alright.
We'll see Mickey Cowbeer tonight.
This is the trainer Nick Swartz is out there to check up.
Mickey is here by the way. Let's go on Davis will get a chance to throw a few warm up pitches to make sure that he is alright.
John Wathen wants to make sure because he has some people down in the bullpen ready just in case.
Scott Izzy, Israel Sanchez, the left hander, Mel Stoudemire Jr., the right hander and apparently Storm is going to hang around and pitch to Jay Buna with a count one ball and one strike.
Fans remember coming up on Saturday September the 1st is Washington natural gas knitted scarf night as the M's host the Royals.
The first 15,000 adults in attendance receive a bright blue and gold knitted Marinus scarf.
Make plans to be on hand for Marinus knitted scarf night Saturday September the 1st.
That's tomorrow night. Reserve your tickets by stopping by the Kingdome or call Ticketmaster at 628-0888.
Here's the pitch to Buna fastball outside ball two. Two balls and a strike.
So whatever it was evidently Storm Davis said that he is alright and stays in the game.
Davis from the stretch and storms to one pitch to Buna swing and a foul back right in on his hands and the count has even had two balls two strikes.
Buna's wrapping up the dismal month of August.
Right now the M's with a record of nine and 18 for August.
There's time with their four runs way over their average for the month.
Here's the pitch on the way swinging a ground ball to backhanded by shortstop Steve Jeltz checks the runner at third goes the first for the out and Jay Buna holding it.
Third base is Alvin Davis.
Steve Jeltz was playing in about halfway over at shortstop.
He had time to quickly pull to his right to make the backhanded stab at the high ground ball up the bat of Jay Buna.
He throws him out at first base and Alvin Davis stays at third.
So a two down here is new third baseman Jeff Schaefer.
Coming on for the injured Edgar Martinez Schaefer tonight.
All for one is grounded at third.
The pitch long outside ball one one and oh.
Nice ground of twenty seven thousand one hundred and sixty six.
The Banners will set a new attendance record this year before it's all over.
Stretch and the one oh pitch swing and a bouncer fouled away on the third base side and the count is even on Schaefer.
And one and one Jeff hitting a buck ninety four.
No homeruns and three runs batted in.
Trying to punch one through the infield or fire the gap.
The son Davis home from third base Mariners looking for a clutch hit.
Here in the seventh Mariners lead four to two Davis ready.
And a one one pitch fastball misses outside ball two two balls and a strike.
Storm Davis originally with a Baltimore Orioles had a pretty good year back in 1983.
First full season of the major leagues.
Here's the stretch and the two one pitch in the dirt.
Good stop by the catcher Mike McFarland ball three three and one on Jeff Schaefer.
He was traded away by Baltimore to San Diego in a deal for Mark Williamson and veteran catcher Bob Kennedy.
Or rather Terry Kennedy. There's a father son act one of the one hundred and eleven father and sons who played in baseball.
Terry Kennedy now with San Francisco.
And it was traded away by San Diego to Oakland three years ago.
Signed as a free agent with Kansas City swing a high ground ball down the third base line by Siteser down the left field side into the corner.
Here comes Alvin Davis on the score and Jeff Schaefer goes to the second base with an RBI double.
The Marlins have a five to two lead over Kansas City with two outs.
Jeff Schaefer comes through with a clutch base hit.
High ground ball just fair right over the back of third base and into the corner and Schaefer is on its second. Davis scores from third.
So a double and a run batted in for Jeff Schaefer and here comes manager Duke Wathen out of the doggone and that will be it for Storm Davis tonight.
New up next the left handed bat of catcher Scott Bradley. So Israel Sanchez will get the call out of the bullpen.
The left hander John Wathen still at the top of the mound and now the call goes out to the left hander Sanchez who will come on and relieve here in the bottom of the seventh inning.
So the Mariners now with a three run lead at five to two and as the change is made we're going to take this time out.

Left hander Israel Sanchez hasn't worked that much at all.
Matter of fact he's only worked in a couple of innings, one of those innings against the Mariners when the M's were in Kansas City last weekend.
No record, a nine earned run average. He's given up three hits, two runs, both of them earned in his brief appearance.
So he will come in and face left handed battering Scott Bradley.
As far as Storm Davis is concerned, six and two thirds innings, nine hits, so far five runs.
They have all been earned, he walks six and he strikes out long.
We'll forget it's tomorrow night now because we'll be along your way half an hour earlier at 636 for the Jim LaFever Show Billy Swift against Jim Campbell.
And then Sunday afternoon we'll wrap up this brief home stand as Brian Holman faces Tom Gordon.
Our pregame show at 106 the first pitch at 135.
Five-two Mariners, here's Scott Bradley against Israel Sanchez.
With so many injuries to the Royals this year, Sanchez got the call from the minor leagues from double A Memphis.
On August the 10th with the Memphis Chicks he was one and two with a 3.10 ERA.
The left hander works from the set and a pitch on the way to Scott Bradley, a breaking ball, low and outside, ball one.
Jeff Schaeffer on at second base with his second double of the year and his fourth run banded in.
The Mariners now lead the Royals 5-2, the pitch.
Low and outside, the Bradley ball two, two balls and no strikes.
So that's it for Storm Davis, but the book is that closed on Davis with Schaeffer at second base.
And field back with two outs.
Sanchez ready, delivers two-o pitch, strike on the outside corner, two and one.
Scott Bradley tonight, one to three, singled in the third.
Scott hitting two, 32 a home run and 27 RBIs.
The stretch and the two-one pitch.
Fastball just a little bit low, ball three, three and one.
Making plans to come on by tomorrow night.
Game time, 7.05, Billy Swift against Jim Campbell.
He'll be making his third major league start.
Next offer on the way, swinging a hot one-hopper taken by Patoda deep at first base.
He will underhand to Sanchez at the bag at first for the out and Bradley to retire the side.
The Mariners get one run here in the seventh inning on a couple of base hits, doubles by Alvin Davis and Jeff Schaeffer.
No errors and one man left on.
And after seven innings of play here in the Kingdome, it's the Mariners five, Kansas City two.

Anheuser-Gurche, St. Louis, Missouri

And now, another visit with Lefty Bender, baseball guy
I was real flattered when the Mariners decided to honor me on my birthday this year
They went all out, shoot they gave me a nice equipment bag, a souvenir ball, a free hot dog
They even put my name on the scoreboard
After 38 years it was finally Lefty Bender Day
Then somebody told me they can do this for everybody's birthday
Give someone a birthday to remember, call 628-3555
And ask about the new Seattle Mariners special birthday package
Welcome back to the Kingdom as we go to the top of the eighth inning
On a heck of an exciting night with the appearance of Ken Griffey in left field
And Ken Griffey Jr. in center
A lot of things happening for the Mariners, especially offensively
Because the Mariners have a 5-2 lead over the Kansas City Royals
And left-hander Randy Johnson
I'm so excited what Mr. Johnson has done tonight with everything else going on
Because Randy Johnson has pitched a whale of a ballgame
Randy Johnson has given up two runs on only four base hits
So Randy Johnson doing a great job going after his 13th win of the year
And right now Randy has a three-run advantage at 5-2
So as we go to the top of the eighth, there's Dave with the play-by-play
All right, Rick and Steve Jelts who has grounded out the first
And also hit a little trickler down to the shortstop Omar Vizquel
All for two, we'll start it off
The Mariners leading it by a score of 5-2
As Randy Johnson trying to win his 13th game of the year
Against only eight losses
Goes into his wind, the pitch to Steve Jelts
And the fastball misses very high
And outside ball one, what a no, it's great to have had you all with us
And everybody hanging around
The Griffey's will get at least one more at bat
27,166 here on this historic evening
And the pitch that changed breaking balls
Strike right at the knees
One ball and one strike on Steve Jelts
Again, Griffey straight away and left
Junior meandering over toward left center now
And Buhner is straight away and right
The 1-1 pitch and it's a little high
And outside ball two, two balls and one strike
On Steve Jelts
The big 6'10 left hand are ready to come in with the 2-1 pitch
Here it is now, to Jelts and the breaking ball
Two low, ball three, three and one
Randy has walked two
And he has struck out four so far in this ball game
Jelts hitting only 1.46
Kevin Seitzer next, we are in the eighth
And the 3-1 pitch on the way now
Fastball strike down the middle and the count for three balls and two strikes
And R.J., ready to come back with the payoff pitch
Here it is, fastball swung on, tapped toward the hole on the right side
Backhanded by O'Brien, the throw to the big guy
Randy Johnson covering in time
Good play by Pete O'Brien
Good hustle by Randy Johnson, one out
Horizon Air has the most flights between cities throughout the North
Plus easy connections and low fares with their trailing
And the 2-1 pitch is now in the eighth
Throughout the Northwest, plus easy connections and low fares with their travel partners
Alaska Airlines and Northwest Airlines
So whether you're traveling around the Northwest or around the world
You can get a flying start with Horizon Air
Here are Seitzer now
Wind in the pitch on the way to Kevin and the slider strike at the knees
Oh and one
Boston winning their eighth in a row, they knock off the Yankees 7-3 at Fenway tonight
The next delivery on the way
And the fastball, back Seitzer off the plate inside
Ball one, one ball and one strike
Milwaukee beats Baltimore 4-1
Toronto makes it two in a row, they knock off Cleveland 12-8
Detroit beats Minnesota 12-6
The 1-1 pitch now, Seitzer takes low ball
Two, two balls and a strike
Games underway, Oakland leading Texas in the bottom of the seventh
3-2 at the Coliseum
And the Chicago White Sox
Leading the Angels and Mark Langston 3-2 in the top of the seventh inning
At the big A, National League is
Been finished for some time
The 2-1 pitch on the way to Seitzer
And the strike is called on the outside edge, slider
Two balls and two strikes
The Mariners have out hit Kansas City 9-4
And they have squandered several opportunities or at least one opportunity
Runners at second and third, nobody out, they couldn't get anybody in
In fact, they had already scored a run
The 2-2 pitch on the way, the fastball low inside
Ball three, three and two
Well, we are going to endeavor
We will try to get one of the Griffies on our postgame show
It's gonna be a zoo down there tonight
With all the media attention
But I'm sure that we shall do our best
To try and get a word from either father or son
On this historic night
The 3-2 pitch, one on hard ground ball hit to Schaefer
Takes into his right knee, but he straightens up, throws low
A one hopper away from Pete O'Brien
So we'll wait and see how they score that
Probably an error, E-5 on Jeff Schaefer
He fielded it and then went to his right knee
And that's exactly what it'll be, E-5
Ryan McCray will be the hitter
McCray has grounded to first, fouled out to first
And in a line drive to third
That's a tough hop for the first baseman
The one that's only about three or four feet down in front of you
Because you just don't know where the ball is gonna go
Either flying out or take a high hop
And Pete O'Brien was hand-tapped over at first base on a tough throw
Jim LeFevre slowly walking out to the mound
And just now three times
But he's in the hole now, a ball and two strikes
Wearing that rookie number, number 56
The stretch and the one-two pitch to McCray now
And the fastball, one on line drive, they hit right field
So all of a sudden the Kansas City Royals bring the tying run to the plate here in the eighth
And here's a man who can hit it out of anywhere, Danny Tartaboll
McCray goes the other way
Tartaboll struck out, singled, and he has walked
And all of a sudden Billy Swift throwing a hider down in that bullpen
If Swift comes into this ballgame, obviously some adjustments will have to be made
The Mariners calling up
Nine players
And they'll be trickling in over the weekend from the minor league system
And here comes Jim LeFevre, LeFevre, and that's going to be it for Randy Johnson
And Johnson is going to be steaming when he walks off that mound
The error here in the eighth and now the base hit
He has thrown 125 pitches, however
And here comes Billy Swift
And so tomorrow night we'll just have to wait and see who will face the Kansas City Royals in the second game of this three-game series
The Kansas City all of a sudden now with a tying run at the plate
And LeFevre will go and get this sinker baller, Billy Swift, will take this time out
James, why is there a giant pit in the backyard?
Another quick reason for a Campbell's Junkie Soup
Well, Dad, first my termite collection got loose in the basement
Then I had to get the lawnmower out of the pool
And once I got the dog off the meal bin, I finally took a break
It's Campbell's Junkie Soup
When you've got lots going on, stop for a bowl of Junkie Soup
It's hearty, satisfying, and cooks up in minutes
So you get a delicious break without missing a beat
So as you can see, I had to dig that tunnel to the mall, okay? See ya
Tunnel to the mall? Campbell's Junkie Soup
The satisfying stop that keeps you going

Well, think of all specialists
Right-handed Billy Swift on in relief here in the top of the eighth inning
The Mariners lead 5-2 Kansas City with runners out at first and second
With one away
So Billy Swift, scheduled to get this time last night, will come on in relief tonight
Billy with a record of 5-4 with a 2.170 RA
He makes his 40th appearance of the year, he has started eight games
And a tremendous job in the rotation for a long time
Since the middle of July, he has two saves
In 108 innings, he's given up 112 hits
He's walked 16 and struck out 34, so that's it for Randy Johnson
Who goes seven in the third innings
Throws one in between 25 pitches, gave up five hits, walked two and he struck out four
Well, here's the man who has hit home runs in three consecutive games now
And a long ball here gets Kansas City back even
As the Mariners lead at 5-2 and Tardyball will be looking for the six
Here comes the swift stretch, the pitch on the way to Danny and the fastball inside, ball one
One ball and no strikes, Siteser is at second base and McCray is over at first
And Keith Comstock left-hander down in the pen throwing
Swift-Dodd's all right, comes in with the 1-0 pitch to the bulls
Wing and a foul straight back
A ball and a strike, nine hits for the Mariners, five for Kansas City
Randy Johnson threw 125 pitches in his seven and one third inning stint
Mariners looking for the sharply hit ground ball to an infielder here to give them a chance to turn it over
Swift-D again his stretch, the 1-1 pitch to Danny Tardyball
Oh, ball two, two balls and a strike
Tardyball a ever so slightly closed stance at the plate, pumping at the wood almost straight into the ground as he tries to time it
The 2-1 pitch by Swift now, swing on ground ball, hit to Reynolds at second base, he steps on the bag, throws to a flag, double play
What's it up shorted, Billy Swift got the flicker and Danny Tardyball is right near the bag
And Reynolds playing over that way with a full-hitting Danny Tardyball
The double play going four to three and the acing is over
One run, one hit, one error, one man left
And speaking of man left, this girl, Reynolds and Ken Grippy, if either of those three get a board, Junior will also get a shot to hit again in the bottom half of the eighth inning
So we go into the bottom half of the eighth, the Mariners five, Kansas City two
Do you realize this is our first real dinner alone in 25 years?
Can you believe it, no kids, it's like when we were first married
Now our kids have kids and our youngest is in college, I'm going to miss him
I miss all the kids, but at least I'll have a car to myself
Oh honey, that reminds me, we have to change our insurance
When things change, one thing is certain, it's time for a farmer's friendly review
For over 60 years, the professionals with the farmer's insurance group of companies have made it their business to keep up with your changing needs
So whether your children are grown up or there's another one on the way, it's time for a farmer's friendly review
Because life never stays the same
I think we'll be making a lot of changes
You mean maybe you'll wash and I'll dry
No, let's take things one step at a time
America can depend on farmers
For a farmer's insurance service that you can count on, see Vern Valentine on California Avenue Southwest in West Seattle
And Richard Frey and Donna Abram on 196 Southwest in Linwood
They ripped open the trunk of the car and took everything
It took us 24 hours to replace the checks that are not American Express
And that just made a bad experience even worse
I went to our bank when we returned from our vacation and they said they were sorry, they had no idea
But they said they don't handle American Express and we said, well you should
The right traveler's check can save your vacation
Make sure you take only American Express traveler's checks, don't leave home without them
And we don't go anywhere without American Express
Loading it off in the bottom half of the eighth inning, Omar Vizgal and the first pitch is popped up to the first baseman Bill Picotta
So one pitch and one down
Second baseman, Harold Reynolds
In the bottom half of the eighth inning, number eight and here is Harold Reynolds
Israel Sanchez in relief of Storm Davis
Reynolds up for the first time from the right hand side, his higher average side where he's hitting 252
And Ken Griffey is on deck, the wind and the pitch are on the way
Low ball, one ball and no strikes, five runs, nine hits for Seattle
Two runs, five hits for Kansas City, a very happy crowd, a festive crowd here tonight of 27,166
Just a tinge of fall in the air in the Puget Sound area
The Sanchez 1-0 pitch, swung on, ground ball hit wide of third, backhand it in the hole by Jelsa, long throw and a hop, not in time
That'll be an infield base hit for Harold Reynolds
For the Mariners, their tenth hit of the night
And unless Ken Griffey hits into a double play, you'll get to see both Griffey's hit one more time here in attendance
If you are listening to the radio tonight and not keeping score, this is one of those nights where you're a real baseball fan, you've got to keep score
Griffey in his Mariner debut, a line shot right back up the middle in the first inning
He then walks in the second and has grounded his second and grounded the first
His son is on deck
Oh, that's unusual to say
Here comes the stretch, the pitch on the way to Griffey now on a high breaking ball
He was not around the front with a man down and a three run lead and nor would you figure him to be
Although he takes that long look down at his ex-teammate, Bill Plummer, coaching for the M's in the third base coaches box
The 1-0 pitch now to Griffey instead is a lob toss to first base, Reynolds is back to the bag
Griffey waving at Darkstein back and forth and another throw to first base and Reynolds this time spinning his wheels a little bit
And he just did get back under the tag of Bill Picotta
Now Sanchez is set and the 1-0 pitch on the way to Griffey over the plate but low ball, two balls and no strikes
Our pregame chat two nights ago with Ken Griffey and he said, yes I am
Thinking about 1991, we'll see what happens in the final month of the season
The 2-0 pitch on the way to Griffey and swung on on a ground ball hit to wide, got a chance to turn two to Jeltsis
Throw to first base, double play
So the kid won't get a chance to bat here in the eighth and the Mariners are hoping he doesn't get a chance to hit in the ninth
They're hoping there'll be no bottom half of the ninth inning
Four, six, three and in the eighth inning no runs, one hit, nobody left
So last call for Kansas City, unless they can get three but they got some hammers coming up
Bo Jackson, Mike McFarland and Jim Eisenreich at the end of 8-5-2, Mariners

So it remains to be seen who will pick up his spot tomorrow evening
Bo Jackson will lead it off and Bo DeNittis walked in to score

One ball and no strikes
Bo's not going to beat you here, if he's going to hit it out he's going to hit it out

Jackson wet ready and the pitch by Swift's one on

The two old pitch to McFarlane now, swung on, little blooper
Hit into shallow center field, going out, Reynolds a long run
Coming up, Griffey and nobody can get to it, it'll drop for a base hit
Junior picks it up, as Reynolds gave it a tremendous drive
It could not quite get to that little parachute job
So Eisenreich who is 0-4-2 officially
Had the sacrifice play in the second inning, will be the hitter
If you want more information on that MCI fan appreciation gala
You call New M's group sales account executive during business hours
At 3-4-3, 4600

One ball, no strikes
Outfield straight, up and down, Eisenreich
And the pitch on the way to Jimmy, swung on, ground ball
Hit to the shortstop, this kill, he'll underhand to Reynolds
Reynolds, throw in time, and it's over
And what a night on baseball on this historic day
The last day of August, 1990

In the ninth inning, the double play 6-4-3
The ball game is over, no runs, one hit, no errors, nobody left

Welcome back to the Kingdom, where tonight the Mariners defeat the Kansas City Royals by a score of 5-2
And on this very special occasion, where Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr. appear in the same ball game
The first time father and son appear in a major league game together
We have both, Ken Griffey and Ken Jr. on the radio tonight on Mariners Log
On a very special night, Dave
Well guys, congratulations, not only was it a special night in baseball history, but I guess, Ken, this is the first time that you've ever played in a baseball game with your son, isn't it?
No, I played in a couple father and son games
I mean, at any level
At any level, yes, this is the first time
Well tell us about the feeling, you step up to the plate, the second pitch, you just hit a bullet right back through the middle
And you get a standing ovation, and then lo and behold, Jr. comes up behind you and hits a line drive to right field
It had to be one of the highlights of your career
Yes, I didn't think it would happen as fast, but I got a good pitch at the end, and I just tried to go back up the middle
I tried to do too much with it, and then Jr. comes up and he just said to me he didn't want me out doing
Jr., what did you think about the night? Did you have that tingly feeling too?
I was a little nervous, I didn't know what to expect, but just wanted to go out and play and have fun
Ken, I want to know about the throw on Bo Jackson, you nailed him by 10 feet trying to stretch that single into a double
Well, he hit it so hard, I just played to Karam and I just come up throwing the second, I figured the only place that he would be kind of slacking off is because he thought I might be going to third base
But I just come up prior to second and it surprised him a lot
You surprised him by about 10 feet, what was your day like? I mean, you guys spent the day together, you came out to the ballpark, I assume about 2.33 o'clock or so
Bertie was here, you haven't had a chance to talk to her, but I know that her heart's got to be beating about a thousand beats a minute right now
What was your day like, both of you? Oh, same as it is every day, he's playing Nintendo, not talking to anybody
Is that all you did all day long, Jr.? Yeah, I just sat around playing Nintendo and watched my mom and dad cook
What did they cook? Chicken
Chicken? Well, I have to have chicken, I love chicken and my wife cooks some chicken
You and Wade Box? We just had a lot of fun, huh? You and Wade Box? I think I'm a little hit away
Jr. and Ken Griffey, we were watching you between innings, Ken Jr., what were you guys laughing about between innings?
Because you guys had a pretty good conversation going on pretty much the whole ball game
Well, I think he was getting on me because he figured by the 6th of the night I should be home asleep
So he was kind of harassing me a little bit, but we had a lot of fun
Can't be expected things will start to maybe start to settle down over the next few days because you know you guys are going to get lobbed on the three remaining road trips for the rest of the year
Well, you know, we're just going to take things as they are and see what happens
We're just going to go out and do the job we've been doing, just try to have some fun with it and do the best job we can
Jr., what was it like to have your dad off to your right there? Were you waiting for that first ball into the gap in left center field to see who was going to take it?
Oh, he had it all the way. I was going to sit there and let him take it
There you go. Jr., I've got to ask you this, as the introductions were made and you two guys headed for the outfield, dad headed for left field, you headed to Rich Garcia, the home plate umpire
And there was a grin on his face. Did you say something like, now take it easy on the old man tonight? Or what did you say to him?
No, he asked me to sign some baseball
Oh, is that right?
We got a couple we want you to sign later too. Ricky, I have one last question
Have either one of you guys realized, has it sunk in the historical importance of what you two have accomplished in baseball here tonight in this Kingdome against the Kansas City Warriors?
Myself as a senior, I don't think it'll settle in so probably later on tonight when I sit down and talk to my mother in Milwaukee
What about you, Jr.?
I'll be in that discussion, but I'll be playing the pinball
Be sure and watch the news tonight, I'm sure it'll be covered by every channel in town. Thank you gentlemen very much, congratulations, it's quite a night for you all
Thank you very much
Yes indeed. Ken Griffey, Sr., Ken Griffey Jr., our guests, they were the story tonight, the Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals by a score of 5-2

Fun night here in the Kingdome, fun fun night, Mariners win 5-2 over Kansas City
Here's a look at this going, and the Mariners got things going right away
And the script could not have unfolded any better for Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr. because in the bottom of the first inning against Storm Davis with one out
Here's Ken Griffey making his Mariner debut
That familiar number 30 on his back in Storm Davis's next pitch, a fastball line drive, base hit, center field
Almost toward the head of Storm Davis off, welcome to Seattle, Ken Griffey out, bullet, right back up the middle, would you believe it, my oh my, what a shot
And after the base hit by Ken Griffey, Ken Griffey Jr. drilled a base hit into the right field, runners on at first and second with two aboard and one out, here's designated hitter Alvin Davis
Here comes the stretch, the 3-1 pitch to Alvin, line drive, base hit, right center field, here comes Ken Griffey, he's going to score, Jr. to third base, he will hold there
Mariners lead it 1-0
And then with two outs after Pete O'Brien popped up to first baseman Bill Pocono Storm Davis, work to right fielder Jay Buhner
Two balls, two strikes on Buhner in the stretch, the 2-2 pitch to Jay Buhner bounces up to the plate, fastball gets all the way back, here comes the kid, the kid will score
So dad scores and his son scores in the first to make it 2-0
Griffey Jr. scores on a wild pitch by Storm Davis
Can you believe that, father and son score on the bottom of the first inning, Mariners weren't finished yet, after the wild pitch scored Ken Griffey Jr., here's third baseman Edgar Martinez
Alvin, that's second, Buhner over at first and the 2-1 pitch, swung on, ground ball hit, back up the middle, under it, diving Steve Jo
Here comes Alvin, to throw to third base, Mariners lead it 3-0
Up Kansas City came right back with two runs in the top of the second, a lead off walk to Bo Jackson, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch with one out
Jimmy Eisenreicher sacrificed wide at center field, that scored Bo to make it a 3-1 ball game and then Bill Pocono hit a home run, a long home run to left field
His fourth home run of the year is second against Randy Johnson, that made it a 3-2 ball game, Mariners came back though with a big run in the bottom of the fifth inning
A lead off walk to Alvin Davis and then Pete O'Brien walked and here's right fielder Jay Buhner
The pitch on the way to Buhner, swung on, fly ball into the gap in right center field, nobody's going to get to that one, I don't believe it won't, it's off the base of the wall
Here comes Alvin, here comes Pete O'Brien around third, they will hold him there on a double by Jay Buhner and it is 4-2, Jay Buhner getting that stroke back baby
And then Ken Griffey in his Mariner debut came up with the big defensive play of the ball game in the top of the sixth inning with one out a walk to Danny Tideable and here's left fielder Bo Jackson
For his number 16 on the back of his Royals jersey, straight away deep and left Ken Griffey
Randy Johnson ready, here's the pitch on the way, swinging a hot shot, fair ball down the left field line into other corner, bangs off the walls out to Ken Griffey around the third
Here's the throw to second base and they got a shot, Bo Jackson out at second base, Ken Griffey play the carom quickly off the wall behind the Royals bullpen
He fires and a strike to Harold Reynolds at second base, Danielle Bo Jackson for the second out of the inning, Ken Griffey, what a night for the senior player 17 years of the major leagues
Griffey with an outstanding throw, Danielle Bo at second base, Jackson with a single but he is out at second, two away, what a play, what a throw by Ken Griffey
And the ball is picked up, a big insurance run in the bottom of the seventh inning, up 4-2 a lead off double by Alvin Davis and with two outs, here's third baseman Jeff Schaefer
The city swinging a high ground ball down the third base line by Sytzer down the left field side into the corner, here comes Alvin Davis on the score and Jeff Schaefer close to the second base
With an RBI double in the Marist, have a 5-2 lead over Kansas City with two outs, Jeff Schaefer comes through with a clutch face hit, high ground ball, just fair right over the back
And we went to the top of the ninth inning, the Mariners leading 5-2, Billy Swift on the mound, he gets Bo Jackson to bounce out to Harold Reynolds at second base, Mike McFarland in singles with one on and one away
Here's right fielder Jim Eisenreich
Getting the pitch on the way to Jimmy Swinger, on ground ball, hit to the shortstop, Bizzkill, he'll underhand to Reynolds, Reynolds, throw in time and it's over and what a night on baseball on this historic day, the last day of August, 1990, the father-son debut and it was fantastic
It was exciting for everyone to see and the Mariners take it from the Kansas City Royals in the ninth inning, the double points
So the Mariners kept an amazing night here in the Kingdome, Ken Griffey, Ken Griffey Jr. in the lineup at the same time and the Mariners come away with a 5-2 win over Kansas City, back with more from the Kingdome, this place is still a buzz right now, we'll be back right after this time out
