Mets hire Howard Cosell’s grandson

Frazier and Cosell are in the same building again.

While Mets third baseman Todd Frazier has no relation to Joe, one of the team’s new public address announcers is Colin Cosell, grandson of legendary broadcaster Howard.

Cosell will split duties with Marysol Castro, the franchise’s first female voice behind the microphone, as PA announcers for the rest of the season at Citi Field. Castro will debut Thursday against the Cubs, while Cosell begins Saturday.

“I’m proud, humbled and honored to be part of such a storied franchise with such an amazing, devoted fan base,” said Cosell, who has won three Emmy Awards as a broadcaster with MSG Varsity.
