After a tour in the broadcast booth, he managed the Arizona Diamondbacks to victory in the 2001 World Series Championship. This spring he will begin announcing games for the Chicago Cubs. The duo from Seattle brings decades of broadcast experience to Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball. Rizzs has been a member of the Seattle Mariners broadcast team for 20 years, while Hutyler has served as the public-address announcer for the Mariners since 1987.
