I’m legit tearing up at this. Howie is the voice of my childhood, listening to Mets games on my old portable radio in the front yard playing catch is a core memory. I hope the Mets are good for many reasons, but they need to give Howie a good season to go out on.

Sadly knew this day would eventually come. My favorite sports voice ever.

Howie was definitely holding out for a WS but I think 2024 was the magic he really needed to make the decision to retire.

This is one of my favorite monologues from him.
Only reason I know of Stephane Matteau is cause of Howie
alright we’re just gonna have to win the whole fuckin thing this year then
Unfortunately for Angels fans this does mean we’ll need Wayne back
Interestingly Howie’s most well known call IMO isn’t from his Mets career, it’s with the Rangers
Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!

End of an era.voices like his are just as much a part of baseball as the players
Well if you fuckers can’t win one for Howie, well it’ll be exactly as he expects.
