Description
In this episode of Three Inning Fan: The Podcast with Kelley Franco, legendary Mets radio voice and Mets Hall of Famer Howie Rose joins the show for a candid, humorous, and often poignant conversation. Howie reflects on his decades-long journey with the Mets—sharing kind words about the Wilpon era, his positive thoughts on the current Cohen ownership, and why he believes this is the most unified Mets organization, from ownership to front office to clubhouse, that fans have seen in years. Howie speaks openly about the unique intimacy of calling games on the radio, including how he maintained that connection with fans even while quietly battling illness. Howie recounts the emotional night at Citi Field when fans chanted his name before his leave of absence—a moment that left a lasting impact on him. Together, Howie and Kelley explore the grounding, enduring power of radio in sports and storytelling. Then Howie survives a humorous rapid-fire round, and of course we close with…what’s good to eat while watching the ballgame.*Music by Podington Bear
