It’s Outta Here!!!!
Gary Cohen turns 55 years old today. There’s no one I would rather see calling every game’s live action on SNY. The trio of Cohen, Darling, and Hernandez makes for entertaining television, even when the Mets are having a losing season.
Cohen has been calling the action in the Mets booth since 1989. He started on WFAN radio calling games with the legendary Bob Murphy, and got promoted to calling the action on live television during SNY’s debut in 2006.
Cohen is a human Mets encyclopedia. It’s very hard to stump Gary in anything Mets related. He has been an avid Mets fan ever since childhood and knows just about everything there is to know about the New York Mets. Try to stump Gary, and good luck, cause you’ll need it. The man is a Mets baseball genius.
Gary Cohen’s enthusiasm is definitely noticeable whenever the Mets score a crutial run, hit one over the fence, make a great defensive play ( who could ever forget Cohen’s enthusiasm when Endy Chavez robbed Scott Rolen in the 2006 NLCS ), turn a double play, get a crutial strikeout, etc. SNY made a brilliant move in moving him to the television booth in 2006. There is no one better.
Gary is still going strong calling all the Mets action. We hope to have him around for many more decades to come. Happy Birthday Gary Cohen. We all love ya.
