Story summary

Howie Rose, a beloved Mets broadcaster who has spent nearly four decades calling games for the team, officially retired on Sunday after the final home game of the season. Due to rain delays, his last broadcast came earlier than expected during Saturday's game against the Phillies. Fans at Citi Field paid tribute to Rose by chanting his name and emotional moments included the PA system playing "Hello, Goodbye" by The Beatles as a farewell gesture. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Sunday's game, Rose expressed gratitude for the support from fans and colleagues, noting that his career will live on through memorable calls such as Mike Piazza’s home run after 9/11 and John Tavares’ goal in the Islanders' playoff win. His retirement ceremony, originally planned for this year, was postponed to next season due to unpredictable weather conditions.
