Michaels remembered a game he called in which Alex Rodriguez – calling the game for ABC/ESPN – played in.
“Al Michaels just recounted calling a Yankees at Mariners Saturday night game at the Kingdome in 1994, where Alex Rodriguez had an RBI single That’s enough info to find the game! Here are the starting lineups! July 16, 1994 Yankees won, 9-3,” Sarah Langs tweeted.
