Sunday, August 11

Hall of Fame Weekend concludes with a pregame roundtable, presented by T-Mobile, with Edgar and fellow Mariners Hall of Famers Alvin Davis, Ken Griffey Jr. and Dan Wilson, Mariners Athletic Trainer Emeritus Rick Griffin and the Voice of the Mariners Rick Rizzs, moderated by T-Mobile Park public address announcer Tom Hutyler.
