Can't believe nobody has picked this one yet. For Mariner's fans, it's gospel.

Best of all time. Imagine being diagnosed with a horrific lethal disease with no cure and saying you feel like you are the luckiest man on the face of the Earth. Originally I meant this thread to be the best calls of all time but I am very happy I went with lines instead. Great stuff everyone.

IT JUST CONTINUES....MY OH MY!!!!!

I still get emotional hearing that. I did not hear it live, as I was at the game, but to me it is the call for my best moment of fandom. I am too jaded now and have won as a coach for me to have the same vigor of Fandom.
