If Only Her Voice Could Change the Way the Mets Play

The Mets are deep in a season that defies adjectives. Puzzling? Disappointing? Maddening? Bizarre? All apply, which is why Marysol Castro considers herself a voice of hope. Or maybe a voice of reason.

Hers is one of those voices you don’t realize you’re hearing when you hear it, like the one that says “This is ‘NBC Nightly News’ with Lester Holt.” Her audience is averaging about 29,000, triple what it would be if she did the same job in Miami, about a third less than if she did it in St. Louis.

She is a public-address announcer for the New York Mets.
