It was the home run call that rock and rolled Mets World.
August 5, 2019. The New York Mets are trailing the Florida Marlins 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh inning at Citi Field in Queens. Michael Conforto hits a tying home run, enhanced by Mets announcer Gary Cohen's trademark call of jubilation, "It's out of here!"
But Cohen and the Mets were just getting started. The next hitter, Pete Alonso, the Mets slugger who that season set a major league rookie record with 53 home runs, also hits it out of here. Back-to-back home runs. The crowd is going nuts. Cohen: "Pete Alonso gives the Mets the lead. A laser beam!"
As Alonso rounds the bases, Gary Cohen shouts out amid the joyous noise, "Scooter and the Big Man bust the city in half!"

I used to read Wayne Robins religiously back in the day, I should have realized you might follow him, TSF. Did you read his thing about The Last Waltz?
xp I meant "Backstreets" - the one where there's endless debate about whether Terry is a boy or a girl and whether the song is about romance or friendship.

just read it -- nice piece. i did a doubletake at the end when he wished his readers a happy thanksgiving. i guess he wrote it exactly a year ago.
