Howie Rose Talks Islanders, Rangers, Mets, the Craft of Hockey and Baseball Play-by-Play, and His Future in the Booth

Howie Rose was a kid from New York who lived the dream of becoming the play-by-play announcer for the Islanders on TV and Mets and Rangers on the radio. In this episode, Howie shares a lot of inside information about his process and experiences calling games in MLB and the NHL, and exclusively talks about his future in the broadcast booth. In the second segment, Howie discusses his seasons as the Islanders’ play-by-play man. The show closes with Chris and producer Pat Boyle naming their favorite announcers, along with some of the choices that Press Pass listeners submitted via Twitter (@ChrisBottaNHL).
