With Sunday's home finale against the Phillies in jeopardy due to the weather, legendary Mets radio voice Howie Rose signed off for potentially the last time.

Amid the uncertainty, Rose wrapped up Saturday's 10-3 win over the Phillies in a way only he could.
"Here's the pitch. Swing and a bouncing ball wide to first, backhanded by [Brett] Baty, throws off balance in time to Myers. Put it in the books!" Rose punctuated with his signature call. "The New York Mets have made it two out of three against the Philadelphia Phillies this weekend, with one more on the schedule, which we hope will be played tomorrow. As Tobias Myers finishes the Phillies off in the ninth inning."
As the Mets Radio 880 crew continued their postgame show, they played a recording of Mets broadcasters and players, both past and present, including Steve Gelbs, Kevin Burkhardt, John Franco and David Wright , to thank Rose for his 20-plus-year career of calling Mets games.
