Here’s a snippet:

Edgar, it seems, was always there — he was one of us, suffering through Bobby Ayala’s blown saves but delivering the big hits — most notably the 11th-inning double that scored Joey Cora and Griffey to beat the Yankees in the ’95 playoffs. All that hit did was help keep the Mariners in Seattle. (Many forget that the game before he had one of the greatest single-game playoff performances ever: 3-for-4 with a walk, a three-run homer and an eighth-inning grand slam off John Wetteland as the Mariners rallied from a 5-0 deficit.)

I never forget the game before, because I was there. I was one of those screaming fans that shouted EDGAR, EDGAR, EDGAR, EDGAR forever as we all made our way out of the top deck of the Kingdome.

I will never forget that night as long as I live. Thanks Edgar!
