PostSportsPlus: Howie Rose is waiting to call the Mets’ World Series win — but he wouldn’t stop there
Howie Rose is approaching three decades in the broadcast booth for the team, first on TV and for the last 18 seasons as the Mets’ primary radio voice, most recently on WCBS-880.Former players Howard Johnson and Al Leiter and longtime TV and radio voice Gary Cohen will be inducted alongside the 69-year-old Rose, a Queens native who grew up rooting for the team.
I get this all the time, and Gary must hear it at least as much: People will say to me, ‘You are to the current generation what Lindsey, Bob and Ralph were to yours.’ When somebody says that to me, it just knocks me over, because I know what Lindsey, Bob and Ralph were to me. They were like family in an avuncular way. It was what they represented.

Marv Albert taught me a long time ago that when you’re in the business for a while, you have an obligation to pay it forward. But they don’t sound like they’re in awe on the air, and when it comes to a suggestion or constructive criticism, they’re so receptive. At some point, whenever I’m done in the booth, I would love to create some kind of scenario where I have the opportunity to mentor young broadcasters because I just love bringing them along.
