How a Lifelong Mets Fan Brought Back Kiners Korner & Became Friends with Tom Seaver w/ Matt Loughlin

[@ConstanceDelio]

I feel so fortunate that I know all these eras and extraordinary people, and appreciate radio, having grown up with “only” channel 9, and no cable TV. Howie Rose, and you, Jay, are my biggest bridges through these eras. May you stay well. Looking forward to 2025! 💙🧡💙🧡

Thank you Jay. The team as a whole seems to have trouble recognizing the SportsChannel/FSNY/MSG era that bridges the Lindsay/Bob/Ralph and Gary/Keith/Ron era. It’s not talked about except when Keith mentions it in passing. I know it’s a lot of names that pass through over the period, but mostly they feel ignored. I find that odd as someone who became a fan in those final 8 years and Howie STARTED THERE. Matt was our Gelbs before Cotter. I don’t know what it is that they’re being so snubbed, but at the very least the era should be in SOME conversation

Matt Loughlin is a class act.

I LOVED Kiner’s Korner! You would get to see the ball players in an unpolished setting and they were more free willing just to be themselves! Ralph Kiner had that ability to get the players to open up.

That was a very good show. I watched when I was a kid before or after Mets games.

Mike Piazza trade from the Marlins to the Mets happened on May 22, 1998.

One of my favorite Kiner’s Korner moments was when Ralph interviewed Choo Choo Coleman after a rare Mets victory. Ralph asked Choo Choo what his wife’s name was and Choo Choo answered, “Mrs. Coleman”.

Jay Horowitz lost his eye in 1986 at the Houston establishment named cooters. Jay and several mets mixed it up with some good old boys and punches were thrown and Jay lost his eye
