Former Seattle Mariners Broadcaster Dave Sims Says M's Tenure Helps Him with New Job

Earlier this offseason, longtime Seattle Mariners broadcaster Dave Sims announced that he was going to leave the organization and head to New York.

Sims will take over for the legendary John Sterling on WFAN, the radio home of the Yankees. Sterling announced his official retirement at the end of the season, after the Yankees run to the World Series.

It's got to be a daunting task for Sims - taking over for a legend. However, he says he's uniquely qualified to do it, considering he did it in Seattle.

From Awful Announcing:

“I’ve done it before, he said. “I did it with Dave Niehaus in Seattle. I’m going to be me. John has had a great run, Hall-of-Fame worthy. I wish him well. I saw him the other day at dinner. Looks like he’s doing pretty well. I get a turn here, and I’m going to do what I do. It’s kind of simple. Everybody asks me that question. I’m not coming here to imitate John. I came here to be Dave Sims.”
