Relive the magic: listen to Howie Rose’s call for Lindor’s grand slam

In a season that continues to produce iconic moments, Mets fans are constantly reminded of the blessing that is Gary Cohen and Howie Rose. In the postseason, we’re robbed of Cohen’s voice, a companion for most of the season, but we’re still treated to Rose on Audacy 880 AM. For those lucky enough to be at the match last night or those unlucky enough not to have their radio synced to the TV broadcast, we present Rose’s call for Francisco Lindor’s winning grand slam from Game 4 of the National League Division Series.

Rose’s appeal is absolutely perfect for a few reasons: it’s descriptive, but not without emotion. On the contrary, Rose’s appeal is overflowing with genuine excitement and enthusiasm. He is also a master of word choice, with the metaphor of feast and famine perfectly woven into the appeal. Calling a game on the radio is incredibly difficult, as you have to provide a lot of information without the benefit of footage, and Rose does it all with aplomb.

You can pick up two different t-shirts inspired by Howie’s call through our friends at BreakingT.
