Colin Cosell's grandfather was the first voice Mets fans heard as back in 1962 when the Mets played their initial spring training game, an 8-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, the first announcer to greet listeners of the game’s radio broadcast. wasn’t Ralph Kiner or Bob Murphy or Lindsey Nelson, Instead, the first voice coming out of the radio belonged to none other than Howard Cosell, the host of “Clubhouse Journal,” a pre- and postgame show, All these years later if you attend a home Met game at Citifield the first voice you hear over the PA speaker is his grandson, it is a thrill to welcome the man who is a three time Emmy award winner and current PA announcer for the Mets, he joins Mark and AJ to talk about it.
