No one loves the Mets and knows more than you about its history. This is not your fault. I think the hostile feelings toward the organization from some of the fans stem from its oversight of Mets history at the new ballpark. Thanks for the explanation you are a stand up guy and the best announcer the Mets have had since Bob Murphy. Sincerely, Steve Howie,

I made a simple, unfortunate mistake. Ken Boswell was very much in the script, right between Art Shamsky and Jack DiLauro. I mistakenly skipped past Boswell after I mentioned Shamsky, and went straight to DiLauro. Don't look for something that's not there. We all cherish Ken Boswell's contributions to the 1969 team and I said as much when I issued an on air apology on Sunday just prior to the first pitch. Sorry, there's no dirt here. Just my bad. Thanks. H.R. Hey conspiracy theorists….call off the dogs. I made a simple, unfortunate mistake. Ken Boswell was very much in the script, right between Art Shamsky and Jack DiLauro.

This Team had a great architect, 2 very talented carpenters (who would really make their bones later)and a solid core of hard working team spirited tradesmen who were well directed and all together they built something the whole neighborhood still marvels at 40 years later. If one of them was forgotten about then so were we all.
