The Mets charter flight bound for Los Angeles made an unscheduled stop in Detroit on Thursday night due to a health issue involving WOR radio play by play announcer Howie Rose.
The Mets were traveling from JFK to LAX for Friday’s series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
WOR released the following statement:
“The Mets flight en route to Los Angeles yesterday landed in Detroit to allow WOR Mets radio play by play voice Howie Rose to see a doctor after feeling ill on board.
Although he is feeling better, due to the lengthy travel, doctors have advised Howies to rejoin the team upon their return to New York next week.”
The nature of the health issue was not disclosed.
We wish Howie a speedy recovery and anxiously await his return to the radio booth with Josh Lewin.
