Here's more on Cohen and Rose from a recent Mets press release:

Cohen began calling Mets games on the radio in 1989, where he remained until moving to the SNY booth in 2006. He is the second-longest tenured Mets play-by-play announcer in team history. Cohen, who grew up going to Shea Stadium, was inducted into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018. His distinct “Outta Here” signals a Mets home run. Cohen was a Dean’s List student at Columbia University.

Rose has been the play-by-play voice of the Mets since 1996, moving from television to the radio booth in 2004. He started with the Mets in 1987, hosting pre- and post-game shows for Mets radio. Rose’s signature “Put it in the books” emphasizes Mets wins. He was inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in 2012. Rose was also welcomed into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019. Rose graduated from Cardozo High School in Bayside, Queens and was a fixture at Shea Stadium, later graduating from Queens College.

At the time of this posting, the Mets are beating the Blue Jays, 1-0, in the top of the third inning.
