Howie Rose loved his job calling Islanders games, but the Mets are his life.
“They are in my DNA. They are in my blood, it’s my life’s work,” Rose said.
“I can’t be more adamant about the fact that this is what I do in the most enjoyable sense. Look, it’s a business, and we have to make decisions that are right for financial reasons. The thought of stepping away from the Mets — I don’t care what the number says (Rose is 62 years old), I am young, I am a kid. I am looking at this with a long-term vision.
