I'm SO glad to report that I listened to the entire game on the radio and Howie's call was utterly electric! He is EASILY the best in the business. And he told his young colleague Keith Raad, who is in his first season broadcasting for the Mets, to retire because he may never see another game as exciting as that one! Wonderful! Thank you so much for posting!

FYI - ESPN radio was Mike Couzens; Boog Sciambi did TV. Hard to have the correctly-slanted call. You won;t see one on FOX/FS1 or TBS I was waiting for the one from the team, where you DID have a rooting interest. THIS WAS IT! Another bit of 24-karat gold from Howie Rose (other was this: "Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!" IYKYK) Put it in the books!

What I loved most about this… When Alonso missed the fly ball in foul territory, when they played it back in slow motion, you could see the brewers fans screaming and laughing and heckling him. And the disappointment in Pete’s face at missing that relatively easy fly ball out. And then…….LEGEND . What a moment.

[@GoonGerbs]

John Sterling is a legend and is supposed to come out of retirement for the Yankees postseason. I agree with you on Kay, just too many of the same calls and just feels like he’s going off the team’s energy instead of creating his own. Gary Cohen and his booth will always be the best in baseball though for the Mets!

In 1984 I worked on Howie’s Monday Night Sports show at Cox Cable in Great Neck. Howie Rose was the consummate gentleman and was great fun to work for. It was a 1 hour show with guests like Islanders and 1 very memorable guest Jack Lange. Many times the guests would stick around after the show and all of us in production would spend 20-30 minutes talking with the guests and Howie. It was a great time working with him and having the luck to work on his show. Love Howie’s call on this right now I think he and Mr. Baseball Bob Eucker are the two best radio play by play announcers. So glad to see Howie call one of the best Met moments ever and Let’s Go Mets!

I saw Howie Rose being interviewed by Michael Kay earlier in the day, and he mentioned he wasn't getting any younger (I think he's 71) and that he'd like to see a Mets championship as an announcer because he wasn't planning on being one of those types, like Vin Scully or John Sterling, who is broadcasting well into their 80s. As the ball sailed over the wall, I knew Rose was out there happily making the call. Maybe if the Mets win it all, he'll decide to call it a career.
