SEATTLE -- A familiar face was missing at last weekend's FanFest as veteran broadcaster Dave Sims, who has been the Mariners television play-by-play man for the past nine years, remained home in New York recovering from prostate cancer surgery.
But Sims, who'll turn 63 in two weeks, vows to be ready to join the Mariners at Spring Training at the end of February in preparation for the televised Cactus League games on ROOT Sports in March.
"My pathology reports are all clean," Sims said from his Manhattan residence. "I feel great."
Sims discovered shortly before Thanksgiving that his prostate-specific antigen (PSA) numbers were way up when he took a physical exam.
