Howie Roses daughter shares heartwarming full circle moment in last game for beloved Mets broadcaster

Howie Rose’s final broadcast wasn’t just an emotional one for the beloved Mets voice, it was for his family too. His daughter Alyssa took to social media on Monday to thank “everyone who made yesterday the most special day of the Rose family’s life,” while also sharing the surprise significance of Francisco Lindor being the final Mets player to bat in Rose’s broadcast career.“One thing about the Mets that is indisputable is that they’re a family organization.If you love the Mets, it’s because of a connection to someone special in your family.

That came so full circle for me yesterday,” Alyssa wrote on X.“I was born in July, obviously, during baseball season.

At some point on the day I was born, my dad called into the station to tell them his daughter was born.During the game, they played ‘My Girl’ on the air.“Of all of the final At Bats my dad could have called, for it to be Lindor, whose walk up song is, as well know, ‘My Girl’, it was clear that wasn’t a coincidence.

That was the universe’s way of reminding me that for my dad and me, it all starts and ends with me being his girl and it all starts and ends with the New York Mets.”She ended the post by saying, “See you in 2027, Citi Field,” alluding to the planned ceremony to honor her father that will take place next season after inclement weather on Sunday forced it to be postponed. Rose announced prior to the start of the 2026 MLB season that he would be stepping away from the microphone in September, ending a Mets tenure that started in 1996 when he began calling the team’s games on television. During the course of his broadcast career, he had also served as a Rangers radio broadcaster and the TV voice of the Islanders. ...
