RIP Ed Kranepool. Don said his only regret about this rant is that it came across to some as though he was mocking Ed, when Ed was actually one of his all-time favorite Mets (as he says towards the tail end of this video.) Still remains one of the greatest radio rants of all-time -- and clearly comes from a genuine place of affection for Kranepool and the Mets franchise, rather than the usual contrived sports radio "hot takes."

Without question the climax of this rant is Don shouting "ED KRANEPOOL" over a picture of Tom Seaver's 300th win as a White Sox. Perfect imagery.
@WaltGekko24 күн бұрын
Which was on of all days "Phil Rizzuto Day" at Yankee Stadium. GEORGE as I remember was furious about it, so much so they eventually did a second "Phil Rizzutto Day" (though the Yanks did invite Lindsey Nelson to call the 9th inning of Seaver's 300th). One of the biggest ironies of Seaver's career that he got his 300th in Yankee Stadium. Another irony was four years later he actually was calling play-by-play for the YANKEES.

I’m not even a New York sports fan and I watch this every few months whenever I need to laugh. This is epic. I think why it has stood the test of time as his greatest rant is because it felt natural. It didn’t feel contrived at all, like some rants on sports talk radio seem to be. He was perfectly calm at the beginning. He built on that until he exploded and talked himself into being pissed off. This is so friggin amazing

From "69 to '86 is probably their best stretch, overall.

The Stress of the Mets probably didn't help his cardiac health.
