The New York Mets had an improbable and remarkable comeback victory thanks to an amazin’ home run from slugger Pete Alonso.
Alonso, who immediately he crushed that thing over the fence, will help lead New York to the NLDS after securing a surprising but crucial postseason win over the Brewers.
The home run was outstanding but so was the radio call from longtime Mets radio broadcaster Howie Rose (perhaps the best of his entire career). It was so awesome, in fact, that the franchise decided to play it on the speakers of the team plane.

Rose, understandably, seemed a bit uncomfortable to hear the sound of his own voice at first.
But emotions cooled as the entire team cheered for him, some even getting to their feet to give him a standing ovation.
The announcer saluted the players in the back for their hard work on the field, high-fiving staffers and giving a handshake to Alonso himself for the accomplishment.
