Seattle Mariners radio call of Raleigh walk-off slam is instant classic
Whenever a Seattle Mariners player connects on a grand slam, it’s not official until somebody breaks out Dave Niehaus’ iconic “grand salami” catchphrase.
If you’re not familiar, it goes a little something like this:
“Get out the rye bread and mustard, grandma! It’s grand salami time!”
On Monday night, it was certainly grand salami time, in a particularly grand fashion. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh drilled a four-run four-bagger in the bottom of the ninth inning, breaking a 4-4 tie (that’s a lot of fours) with the walk-off shot for an 8-4 win.
The “grand salami” call that made it official came from – as it usually does these days – Rick Rizzs, the longtime voice of the Mariners on Seattle Sports radio who keeps the spirit of Niehaus alive with every M’s grand slam.

Monday’s call from Rizzs is an instant classic, and it included another clever nod to Mariners history thrown in for good measure. That would be a memorable moment that Rizzs played a part in himself – Luis Sojo’s inside-the-park grand slam (technically a double with a two-base error) from Seattle’s one-game playoff win over the California Angels that clinched the first trip to the postseason in team history in 1995.
Hear how Rizzs put a new spin on “Everybody scores!” in the video at the top of this post.
The American League West-leading Mariners (38-30) will continue their four-game series against the Chicago White Sox at 6:40 p.m. Tuesday. The radio broadcast with Rick Rizzs on Seattle Sports will begin at 5:30 with the pregame show. For details on how to stream M’s radio broadcasts from Seattle Sports, click here.

SEATTLE — Homestead Community Land Trust celebrated the completion of Nest, a new mixed-income condominium community on Seattle’s Phinney Ridge, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.
The development creates 30 homeownership opportunities in one of Seattle’s most sought-after neighborhoods, including 19 permanently affordable homes and 11 market-rate homes.

Located at 6109 Phinney Ave. N., Nest is Homestead’s second condominium development on Phinney Ridge and the latest addition to its portfolio of permanently affordable homeownership communities.
Residents will have walkable access to neighborhood businesses, transit, and parks, as well as views of the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges.
Homes designated for income-qualified households are expected to be priced between approximately $250,000 and $335,000, compared with Seattle’s median condominium price of about $600,000.
Speakers at the ribbon-cutting ceremony included Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson, state Sen. Emily Alvarado, Nicole Vallestero-Soper, director of policy and innovation for Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, and Homestead homeowner Jessica Garcia-Ortiz.
The project was developed on a site assembled from a former Seattle City Light property made available through the City of Seattle for affordable homeownership and an adjacent parcel acquired by Homestead.
The development highlights how public land, public investment, and community partnerships can be used to create long-term homeownership opportunities in high-cost neighborhoods.
Nest includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, rooftop community space, and all-electric, fossil-fuel-free construction.
The homes feature heat pumps, induction ranges, and modern building systems designed to reduce environmental impact and operating costs.
The development also incorporates environmentally sustainable materials and bio-based, PVC-free flooring that is cradle-to-grave certified carbon neutral.
The development was made possible in part through the transfer of a former Seattle City Light property for permanently affordable homeownership, advancing the use of public land to support housing affordability in Seattle.
Police are talking with a person who reported being a victim of a street robbery late tonight at or near California SW and SW Raymond. The initial report was that two Black male juveniles, both in masks and hoodies, held the victim up at gunpoint, stole their phone, and got away in a gray Tesla with no plates.
12:55 PM: Again this year, the West Seattle Junction Association has decked the heart of the business district with rainbow flags to celebrate Pride on the night of June’s WS Art Walk. As featured in our calendar and daily event list, Pride events tonight include a meetup at VAIN (4513 California SW) at 6 pm and then a “dance party” in the Walk All Ways intersection at 6:30; that’ll be followed by a drag show at Jet City Labs (4547 California SW) and the only event on the slate that’ not all-ages, an 8:30 pm afterparty at The Poggie.
ADDED 3:15 PM: Victoria at VAIN sent several reasons to stop there at the start of tonight’s celebration – “We have a limited number of Pride flags to give away before we proceed down to the intersection. We have a small run of West Seattle Pride shirts to sell. PFLAG wil have an info table with some giveaways as well.”
