The season is almost over

As Coop reminded me in her recent post, it's hockey season already. Preseason hockey anyway. While that is a good thing, it also signals the end of the baseball season.

That means there's only a limited number of times to listen to Howie Rose and Wayne Hagin (especially if Howie leaves us a bit early to go back to his winter job with the Islanders) and a limited number of times to listen to Gary, Keith, and Ron (and Kevin and Ralph, especially Ralph since you just never know). And it means there's limited window to watching baseball, meaningful or not, before the Yankees playoff games are thrown in our faces.

Gary Cohen, Hockey Announcer

During the All-Star break, I'm going to go down a different path. Today I have a closer look at everyone's favorite Mets TV Play-by-play man Gary Cohen.

Gary's radio style allowed for him to clearly and correctly announce lots of detail in a short amount of time. Never this was more true than in broadcasting Hockey on the radio. Gary was selected to be the radio play-by-play voice for hockey at 3 different Winter Olympics games in the 1990s (1992 Albertville, 1994 Lillehammer, and 1998 Nagano).





Good stuff. I'll leave you with this - what every happened to Gary Cohen, Hockey announcer?

The sound bytes came directly from my walkman into my computer live as the games were being played as broadcast on WFAN radio. The broadcasts are probably copyright 1998, Westwood One, the U.S. Olympic Committee, and the International Olympic Committee.
