LISTEN: Mets, Brewers radio calls of Pete Alonso’s ninth-inning home run

For three decades, Pink Howie has been the voice of some great Mets moments, but now he can add Thursday night’s Game 3 win against the Brewers as one of them.

When Pete Alonso When he came to bat trailing 2-0, Rose was getting fired up. The Mets had just put runners on the corners with no outs and Alonso had a chance to do some damage. Even better, the slugging first baseman brought the count to 3-1 on Brewers closer Devin Williams.

To avoid loading the bases, Williams would have to put something on the plate and he did. Alonso launched an 86 mph changeup the wrong way, over the right field wall to give the Mets the lead they would not relinquish.

And Rose had the perfect decision.

“Swing and fly to right field. Pretty well hit. (Sal) Frelick back, on the wall. Jump up and it’s gone! He did it! He did it!” Rose said. “Pete Alonso with the most memorable home run of his career.”

As radio fans know, there are usually two sides to every call. Legendary Brewers announcer Bob Uecker was on the call, and his account of events was understandably less than enthusiastic.

“And the pitch, a shot in the air to right. Deep and missing warning track,” Uecker said. “Peter Alonso just put New York on top with a three-run homer to right field. And just like that, a 2-0 lead is now a 3-2 deficit. That fast. Wow.”

The 90-year-old broadcaster has seen his fair share of great moments, but even he was left nearly speechless by Alonso’s explosion, which sent the Mets to the NLDS and the Brewers (National League Central champions) to start your off season.
