Howie Rose calls Pete Alonso's Go Ahead Home Run 2024 Wild Card Game 3

Great call by Howie Rose ! Much better then those 2 clowns on ESPN .

[@Gator11srq]

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!

[@pablomarquez4431]

Exactly. All mets games need to be called by howie. Just the best commentator.

ESPN tries so hard to ruin every sporting event they telecast. But if the game is a good one, people will watch it. For me, I just turn the sound down.

[@kiskaloo6843]

I could not agree more. So biased towards the Brewskis I had to check it was ESPN.

[@patrickwalsh279]

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!

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.

I went to college (Queens College, in NYC) and remember Howie when we both worked on the college paper. He is a local Queens boy and can guarantee he was freaking out over this Mets win.

[@joefake-m4n]

Compare the drama that Rose created there with the live ESPN broadcast.. There is no comparison. An amazing broadcaster. I'm sure he's in every Mets HOF already, but Howie should eventually be one of the Frick honorees in Cooperstown.

[@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!

Calm down. Its one hit. He has not been good for two seasons. The Mets cant go and throw $40mil per year into a .240 power hitter who doesnt hit for power in clutch situations.
