The Voice of the Mariners Rick Rizzs on 41 Years in the Show

Walk-Offs, Clubhouse Blowups & Baseball Lessons

Walk-off heartbreak. Clubhouse blowups. Rookie mistakes. The stories fans never get to hear. Charlie Furbush and Tom Wilhelmsen take you inside a Major League clubhouse to share the moments that shaped their careers—from veteran leadership and team chemistry to the mental side of pitching and the lessons baseball teaches long after the final out.

Behind the Walkout Music

Charlie and Tom dive into the stories behind walkout songs and what they really say about a player. From DJ Kool and LSU to Rage Against the Machine and Hendrix, the guys break down the music, mindset, and adrenaline that came with taking the mound in the big leagues. Plus, some behind-the-scenes clubhouse stories, pregame routines, and why a walkout song is a lot more than just background music.

From Clubhouses to Blockbuster and Everything In Between

This episode is all over the place in the best way possible. Movies, drinks, baseball stories, childhood memories, and plenty of nostalgia from two former big leaguers who clearly spent a little too much time in clubhouses.

Pregame Rituals, Clubhouse Stories & Big Unit Memories

Bullpen guys are a different breed. Charlie and Tom talk pregame superstitions, recovery routines, bullpen pressure, crazy travel stories, celebrity run-ins, and memories involving Randy Johnson and Félix Hernández. And yes…the plane story is completely ridiculous.

The Voice of the Mariners Rick Rizzs on 41 Years in the Show

Rick Rizzs has been calling baseball for 41 years and he’s got the stories to prove it. On this episode of The Late Innings Show, we sit down with the longtime voice of the Mariners to talk about the moments, the players, and the calls that have stuck over the years—including some of the biggest moments in Mariners history. From iconic games to behind-the-scenes stories, this is a look at the game through someone who’s lived it every day. We also get into how baseball has evolved, what’s changed, and what still feels the same. And it all somehow traces back to a letter a kid wrote to his hero. This one’s worth a listen.
