Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

Like on old timers day or opening day or whatever ceremony, like they would rotate.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

Yeah.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

He would do a player, then Michael Kay would do a player.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

Then John would do a player.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

And you know why they did that, right?

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

No.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

Because they fought over it.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

It was a major battle as to which guy gets to do it.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

It was a battle royale.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

Did they pick which, like, did they have a value chart of the players?

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

Okay, you get three from Tier A, I get three from Tier A. No, but originally only one of them was going to get to do it.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

And the other guy complained about it and said, why does he get to do it?

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

I'm every bit the voice of the Yankees that he is.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

So if he's doing it, I want to do it.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

And the Yankees made a decision, well, we don't want to hear from either one of these guys, so we're just going to let you both do it.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

Makes sense.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

And that's why they both do it.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

Because one of them was very sensitive to the fact that he was not originally going to be the on-field, you know, award ceremony type guy.

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

And you're aware which one of those guys was sensitive?

Boomer & Gio
Best of the Mets on WFAN: Howie Rose's final season

I've had the conversation with the Yankees about it.
