I was suggesting Kiner's Korner Bridge but someone says it should belong to Gil Hodges bridge in which I agree with it. I don't like Utley's corner in Right Field that Gary Cohen said the other day. Kiner's Korner in Right Field will be good. Agree 100% because I want the Mets to name a section for Ralph Kiner.

It humanized the players. The players all enjoyed being on the show. Ralph had their total respect as he was a baseball star in his own playing days. It also allowed you to appreciate the opposition. They were people not the enemy that seems to be the message of today.I still hear the the opening music of the show in my head. I was a kid back in those days, part of the magic of summer, for me. Would not trade it for anything. Go Mets!!!!!! I totally agree. It humanized the players. The players all enjoyed being on the show.

The game wasn't over until you had seen Kiner's Korner. The players were honored to be there, even the opposing team heroes when we lost. Ralph was always gracious and had good to say. He had a way of emphasizing the positive and showing the deficiencies without providing negative criticism. There was a special talent within him to be positive and it brought in the cooperation of the players and the love of the fans. The SNY post-game is ok, but nothing like the show Ralph provided. The amazing thing is that Ralph was a ballplayer professionally and not a communication or broadcasting person. All his broadcasting skills came from his own inner talent. You are so correct.

But how many Mets fans know that? That provides recognition within the broadcast community, but it is a rather limited form of recognition. With all the space available at Citi in the amenities areas, there should be room someone for Kiner's Korner as you suggest. The Mets have named the SNY broadcast booth at Citi after Ralph.

Nothing better than having the Mets win and then waiting for the Kiners corner show, right after the game. Good old channel 9.The show was so informative and it also kept the glow of the victory going. I would watch whether the Mets won or loss. There is nothing close to it, in todays world.

Have a section called " Kiners Korner" where they honor not only Kiner but Bob Murphy as well. If they can honor a guy who never put on a Mets uniform, they can honor the guys who brought the Mets game to the masses I think the Mets should name a section of Citifield for Ralph Kiner and what he has done for this organization in the broadcast booth.
