Mets broadcaster Howie Rose had a perfect eulogy for the team after an amazing 2024 season
The miraculous New York Mets season has officially concluded after falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.
It was a tough way to go out for the Mets after coming within two victories of facing the Yankees in a crosstown rivalry rematch of the 2000 MLB World Series. Instead, however, baseball fans will get to see two juggernauts of the sport face off on the biggest stage as Shohei Ohtani takes on Aaron Judge.
For the Mets fans who are feeling sad about coming up short, however, no one better contextualized all of the emotions than legendary radio broadcaster Howie Rose.

Late in the game against the Dodgers, he reflected on the wild ride that led the Mets to where they landed on Sunday night.

Here is how Rose started his monologue:
The Mets were not expected to have a contending season, trading away staff aces Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer last year.

But instead, they did the unthinkable and went as far as they could.
Here is more from Rose:
"I'll say this on a personal level: I was 15 years old when they won the 1969 World Series. That's 55 years ago. So you can do the math yourself. But I'll just say this about the 2024 New York Mets. This 70 year kid feels 15 all over again. You can watch baseball for a lot of years and never see the run that the Mets went on during this postseason and even the days prior."
If that didn't give you full body goosebumps, who knows what could?

But here is an edit of Rose's words with some music and some mesmerizing highlights of the season behind it.
That should give some added emotion and context that could make you tear up a bit if you are a fan.
