Review Quotes:
"As the voice of the Seattle Mariners since 1983, I had a front row seat for most of the greatest moments in the history of the Mariners. Reading David Schmitz's book You Gotta Love These Guys made me relive those great memories and all the chills and thrills and goosebumps came back! It was 1995 all over again, the season that saved baseball in Seattle! So, if you want to know all about the history of the Mariners franchise from Bochte and Bannister to Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar, to Ichiro and Felix, to Julio and Cal, you're gonna love this book! Schmitz takes us on this incredible journey from Opening Day at the Kingdome in 1977 until the present day at T-Mobile Park. You're gonna love all the stories from the players and so many others who wrote the history of the Mariners. Enjoy the ride!"--Rick Rizzs, Voice of the Seattle Mariners
