I linked the timestamp where it happens, but the whole interview is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn-7X0l0PoA" data-time="&start=2181 I also recommend the part (starting around 11:50 or so in the video) where he talks about balancing his own fandoms vs the professionalism of being a broadcaster (since he grew up a huge Mets fan himself, in the 60s when the Mets were born) and how he can remain fair yet still display a passion for wanting the Mets to win. I personally compare this to what I see from tons of other teams broadcasters where they are actively rooting for the team to win the game like a fan in lieu of professional broadcasting (ie, saying stuff like "Come on, Williams, hit it out of the park!"), which I really do hear way more than you'd think (I remember hearing this from the Pirates and Nats announcers in the past if I'm naming names). --- ~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion 2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS <cite>WiggumFan267 posted [p:921890391] in 2019 Baseb...
