I think the last guy he struck out torn up a bat rack or something after the game.

- As you thought Hernia, 6 walks.
- Yet no one hit the ball hard on him all day save for that sort of line drive in the 1st that Griffey had no problem with.
- As always his fastball was the $h!t but his off speed slider was what kept them off balance all night.
- The last out, a strikeout (8th for Randy) on a pitch over his head, was made by Mike Heath who apparently threw a bat through the TV in the visitors clubhouse.
- He threw 136 pitches for the game. That ain't happenin' nowadays. He'd have been pulled after the 7th.
- The umpires didn't replace the ball whenever it hit the dirt like they do now.
- Very few replays on the broadcast and very few graphics
- Edgar played 3rd base!
- Alvin Davis was still playing 1st for the Ms
It was great hearing Dave Niehaus again......

That right there is reason enough on its own to watch classic Mariners games.
