Howie talking about the size of his lips was so self-effacing and typical. How many of us teared up along with Howie when he could barely get through the last sign-off? I did.
As a kid living within walking distance of Shea and attending numerous games each year we probably rubbed elbows at some time growing up. He's lived out his dream life with the team he loved, and served it very well for many years. Congratulations on calling your own shot, and creating a role in the organization that meets your personal and family needs, so we will still see you hanging around the corner. Your terrific, and best wishes always‼️ THANK YOU‼️
What Howie Rose is for you, Bob Murphy was for me. I'm all for muting the TV and having the radio broadcast on. In '86 the series was telecast nationally and the broadcasters seemed to be rooting for the Red Sox so we turned the volume all the way down and listened to the radio. There was still a touch of sound coming out of the TV speaker so we taped some foam over it to eliminate the bad karma! It worked. Turning the page, I miss Tim McCarver. I know some people thought he was too wordy but I thought he was the smartest baseball broadcaster to ever come down the pike.
Agree 100 percent on the Mets extra comments and he also had a talk show on WFAN which I enjoyed.What I loved about Howie is he was never afraid to ask the tough questions and he was never a shill for the team.He was a great interviewer and I hope after he fully explores retirement he does decide to do a podcast especially with the lockout coming.I always felt a strong connection to his broadcasting style where it was clear who he was rooting for but he was never a homer.May he have a happy and healthy retirement and I hope he is able to drop strokes off that handicap!!!
Yes. The day was about saying goodbye to Howie Rose.
A split of the Phils is pretty good. The team, until Senga, kept in the game in a matchup between a rookie and someone with 17 wins.
Lindor seems to be pressing some. I hope he can get that home run out of the way. Anyway, two role players set up a big moment for Lindor and Soto, and both failed. Then Senga finished them off.
Oh well. Put it in the history books. We still have former radio guy Gary Cohen and company.
