Drawing a Blank

Edgy MD Apr 29 2013 02:18 PM

A Phillie phan phriend just wrote to ask me who called the September 21 game and specifically the Piazza homer, and I'm drawing a blank. He sent me a link, but I'm blocked at work. I don't watch and SNY and so I haven't seen it 100 times as I imagine some of you have. I think remember about 60 seconds of booth silence to soak it all in and then Fran Healy coming on, but who was on play-by-play calling the homer as it happened?

It was Howie on Fox Sports New York with ... Healey?

I thought I remember Howie, and I was going to answer that, but as an out-of-towner, I can scarcely recall his tenure as a Mets TV guy. Just seems so counter-intuitive to me that I didn't trust my own answer.

I could watch that twice a day for the rest of my life, and I'd still get a catch in my throat every single time.

I like to see it too because the first time he hit it I was jumping in the aisles of the Upper Deck and landed on an empty beer container and tumbled onto the seats, so I didn't know if he missed 3rd base.
