It's not every day that you see your mug in the @nytimes . It was a pleasure chatting with @noahgittell . I'm now speechless.

Come for the Broadcast, Stay for the Mets Game (Published 2022)

SNY already had some of the best announcers in baseball. John DeMarsico, the network’s director, has made every game feel like a trip to the movies.

Gary Cohen on the Orioles/Kevin Brown controversy. "Let me just say one thing to Baltimore Orioles management. You draped yourself in humiliation when you fired Jon Miller. And you're doing it again. And if you don't want Kevin Brown, there are 29 other teams who do."

I'll never be in any Hall of Fame or Ring of Honor, but today it sure felt like it. Gary is one of us, and if you've ever sat in the upper-tank at Shea or Citi, he speaks for you. Today was Gary's day but it was also ours. Congrats to him and congrats to you all out there.
