The broadcaster, who has been in Seattle for more than a decade at this point, was a recent guest on the 'Refuse to Lose Territory' podcast.

Even at 36-years-old, there's a handful of times per season that I will go to YouTube and fire up the 1995 Seattle Mariners commemorative "My Oh My" video.

By now, I know all the highlight clips and when they're coming. I know exactly where I want to go to in the video when I need a boost, and I know what spots in the video get me feeling extra nostalgic about the most important season in franchise history.

And while the highlights certainly resonate with me, the broadcast calls of Dave Niehaus and Rick Rizzs resonate with me as well. After the Mariners beat the then-California Angels in the one-game playoff to clinch the American League West, Randy Johnson runs into the clubhouse and Niehaus exclaims "19 long years, of frustration, is over."

It's tattooed on my mind and it always be.

And while Niehaus has been gone since his passing in 2010, those calls will always live on. They are synonymous with Mariners baseball, at least for me and so many others.

But there are a new group of M's broadcasters who have foraged their own memories and moments since his passing. Dave Sims, who had crossover with Niehaus, was one of them, and so is Aaron Goldsmith.

The 42-year-old Goldsmith, who began his career with the Mariners in 2013, has been in Seattle more than a decade now, and his voice has become synonymous with the team for a new generation of M's fans.

Goldsmith was a recent guest on the 'Refuse to Lose Territory' podcast, where he was asked if realizes that he's developing that kind of legacy to fans.

"Well, I don't know to that degree. It has become evident over the last 10 years or so that, I mean, when you are someplace long enough, right, you do get fans who, when you started, were just old enough to kind of understand what's going on, whatever age that is, 9, 10, 11, 12. And now they're out of college.

So it is wild that there is this segment of the fan base that, when their Mariner awareness kind of clicked, I was here, or at least was starting to get my feet underneath me.

And truthfully, I know that no matter what industry you're in, whatever you do for a living, when you've been someplace a long time or done the same thing for a long time, right, there's always the jokes and the clichés of, "Well, that just means I'm old," and, "That just means I've been around too long."

And quite honestly, Brady, it's one of the best joys that I get in the job. I think, and it's not my opinion, I think it's pretty universally felt, there's a lot of power in this position of being somewhere a long time. And now you have to be associated with good things, right?

It's very helpful that there's a video of the glory days in 1995 that tugs on your emotional heartstrings for understandable reasons. So you want to be someplace where great things are happening. And fortunately, some really good things have been happening for the Mariners in recent years."

The full Goldsmith interview will be released on Sunday through 'Refuse to Lose Territory.' You can listen to current episodes here and you can also subscribe to the YouTube channel.

The Mariners (45-44) will host the Toronto Blue Jays (42-46) at T-Mobile Park on Saturday afternoon. First pitch is 1:10 p.m. PT. Logan Gilbert will start against Shane Bieber.
