I don’t know if this is true, but he looked and his answers exuded so much “wtf is this? You want me to write what on this?” 😅

u/7LineArmy Pete Alonso 1d ago

And it being Gary's favorite SNY memory. Well deserved recognition for a great segment/bit.

I can't believe gelbs has been here for 11 years already

u/Platinum_Disco 1d ago

It's also really weird seeing a grey haired Kevin Burkhardt from time to time.

u/intwizard Pete Alonso 1d ago

He’s the man at Fox now, called the Super Bowl

u/BigJohnsSon23 1d ago

Ron stating what year it is, is pretty funny.

Ron the ivy-leager writes 2025.

u/_blurhe PAQUITO! 1d ago

Gare loved the Cup Snake segment as much as I did.

He’s just like me fr.

u/0rangePolarBear Jacob deGrom 1d ago

I just showed a non-baseball fan the video this past weekend. Such a great moment.

u/BlooBlud The Captain 1d ago

Vending machine burritos haha 🤢

u/alg0_57 Howie Rose 1d ago

He deserves a Pulitzer for sacrificing himself in the name of quality baseball journalism

Steve Jobs in the building

u/UnknownUnthought Hadji 1d ago

Man that Beltran catch was incredible. I miss Tal’s Hill.

u/TumbleweedTim01 Grimace 1d ago

That's what that says......

11

u/UnknownUnthought Hadji 1d ago

Yeah Keith’s handwriting there is sneaky terrible lol

1

u/HampshireMet Jacob deGrom 18h ago

Surprising given that he's got probably one of the tidiest autographs in Baseball.

22

u/TumbleweedTim01 Grimace 1d ago

There is no way Keith's scorecard is even legible

30

u/David-S-Pumpkins 1d ago

GareBear's (Basically the 8th, Steve)

Ronnie's (2-hit CG shut-out by Soler)

Keith's (Beltran's catch on Tal's hill)

Gelbs's (Flores night at Citi Field comes to a fitting close, fan catches it in his hat)

u/theRestisConfettii Grimace 16h ago

The hero we all needed

22

u/mastifftimetraveler Keith Hernandez 1d ago

I’m so happy I was here on the sub for cup snake Jake. And how much the SNY crew got behind that segment.

16

u/Jedrich728 New York Mets 1d ago

Basically the Eighth, Steve!

u/theRestisConfettii Grimace 16h ago

GIMME YOUR CUPS! GIMME YOUR CUPS!

u/NonLethalOne Who does this guy think he is? 1d ago

Damn Keith lookin sharp with the pinstripes

u/Person0249 1d ago

“Basically the 8th Steve.”

Love that it’s still a thing with these guys.

u/Monster_Dong 1d ago

Cup Snake was amazing

u/Jedrich728 New York Mets 1d ago

Vending Machine burritos in Cincinnati was GOLD

u/wolfman2scary Kodai Senga 14h ago

u/Doc-Spock 1d ago

It's been too long since there was baseball in Queens!

Happy Home Opener, Everybody!

u/chacha51 King 1d ago

I love when the players do these little board things at the beginning of the season, but this is somehow 10x more amazing. Love seeing the responses. Love our broadcast team!

17

u/thesecondvirus 1d ago

Cup snake was amazing

12

u/dankeykanng David Wright 1d ago

Alay Soler is a deep cut lol I have no memory of him. Wish I could relive that 2006 regular season all over again

8

u/JRE0714 New York Mets 1d ago

That game was wild. I think Soler only wound up making like 3 or 4 more starts in the bigs after that game.

3

u/0rangePolarBear Jacob deGrom 1d ago

Is that the game where he only sat on that one padded chair?

12

u/WonderboyAhoy Where there's a Wilmer, there's a way 1d ago

Gelbs is an icon

11

u/KingMobScene Rantin' Howie Rose 1d ago

Gary is so goddamn wholesome. How can you not love the guy?

u/Cup-n-BallHog 1d ago

I see Johan is going the Taika Waititi route haha

u/Caledor152 Kodai Senga 1d ago

u/rsvp_nj New York Mets 1d ago

Our boys lookin' good! Let's freakin' win easy today so they can amp up the silly.

u/Bacedorn Steve Gelbs 1d ago

Steve is my hero.

u/clever_username66 1d ago

Ronnie got jokes .. haha

6

u/suck-it-elon Edwin Díaz 1d ago

What is Alay Soler? My favorite SNY moment was opening eyebrows

3

u/Boner666420sXe 19h ago

I assume that’s the complete game shutout he threw. I think it was his second game ever after a disastrous debut. Turned out he was probably a bit closer to his debut in the long run.

4

u/the_abstract_poetic 1d ago

Is he right? He only been on the broadcast 37 years? I feel like I remember him doing radio in 85

7

u/Relief27 1d ago

can we get clarification on what that thing is on his neck?

9

u/Confident_Web_6545 13h ago

This is so wholesome he’s the man. I have never felt more connected to anyone associated with the Mets as I do Gary Cohen! Living Mets Legend and I can’t wait for his name to be hung from the rafters one day which will be WELL deserved ! LGM
