  "account": "Mike Breen, the long-time Knicks television voice, made a special appearance on SNY's Mets pregame show and during their broadcast against the Brewers. Breen, who has been covering the Mets since 1986, shared several memorable moments from his time in the booth. He reminisced about his favorite player of that era, Bud Harrelson, and how each championship era had a player he admired. Breen also shared a humorous story about trying to interview Keith Hernandez during the 1986 playoffs, only to be rebuffed and ending up with a playful exchange of \"Mr. Hernandez\" between the two. He expressed his admiration for Clyde Frazier, fondly recalling their interactions and the joy of working with the legendary Knicks center. Breen closed by praising the SNY booth as \"21 years of sustained excellence\" and expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to be there.",
