SNY announces Howie Rose documentary, ‘Put It In The Books’
We’re going to go ahead and say it’s safe to claim that the New York Mets will not win a World Series in Howie Rose’s final season in the booth. That’s at least what Carlos Mendoza – who has since been relieved of his duties — promised to the departing radio voice of the Metropolitans.…
The New York Mets have announced plans for a documentary on longtime radio voice Howie Rose, titled "Put It In The Books." The 60-minute film will air on SportsNet New York (SNY) on August 18. The documentary features reflections from prominent Mets players, including Mike Piazza and Pete Alonso, on Rose's calls during two memorable home runs.
Alonso's game-winning blast in the 2024 Wild Card series is also highlighted, as Rose's commentary was played on the team's plane speakers after the game, eliciting a standing ovation. Several well-known broadcasters, such as Marv Albert, Mike Francesa, Gary Cohen, and Ian Eagle, also share their perspectives on Rose's technical skill and standing in New York sports in the film.
Rose, who is 72 years old, has been anticipating honoring his career with a ceremony on City Hall steps but has since realized that his final season with the Mets may not align with that plan. In recent years, Rose has trimmed his workload due to bladder cancer, declining to travel extensively, and has announced that he will call only 84 games in 2026.
This includes all home broadcasts from Citi Field and three Subway Series road games at Yankee Stadium in September. The organization hopes the documentary will serve as a fitting tribute to Rose's career before he concludes it officially.
