has announced that the 2026 season will be his last in the broadcast booth.

He's been calling games since 1987, and at 72 years old, he's ready to step back for more family time.

Rose shared the news in a video on the team's social media, saying the decision wasn't easy

after so many memorable years. He made it clear he won't vanish entirely and hopes to stay

involved in some way with the Mets moving forward. Mets owners Steve and Alex Cohen quickly responded

with thanks for his decades of service. They praised how his passion has brought the team's

biggest moments into fans' homes with real energy and heart. Rose has witnessed every up and

down for the Mets over nearly four decades, turning radio listeners into devoted followers just

through his calls. Generations of fans have grown up with his authentic style.

Fans can look forward to one more full season of Rose in 2026, hopefully kept by some big wins

to send him off right. A quick thank you to our sponsor of today's episode.
