If you’re like me, you grew up with Mike & the Mad Dog on WFAN. During the time the Mets were on the air together, one thing was very clear – Mad Dog hates the Mets and Mets fans. Apparently, he still does:

Seriously?

Gary Cohen’s call was perfect. That should be no surprise as he is the best play-by-play man in the business. You can hear the utter shock and disbelief in his voice. His tone and call matched the moment. 

Yes, it’s absurd to call it “among the great moments in the history of baseball.”  However, I do think Gary’s permitted a bit of hyperbole in what was a shocking moment. He and Ron Darling were chuckling during the moment. Everyone was doing it everywhere. 

Whether or not you like Bartolo Colon, you have to admit it was a great moment. It was an unbelievable moment. It needs a call that matched. Gary Cohen did it because he’s the best. Mad Dog hated it because he hates the Mets and their fans.
