At the ballpark
Your seat. Your smartphone. Howie’s call.
Streamed radio usually reaches your phone 30 seconds to two minutes after the play. At Citi Field it arrives in under a second, so Howie’s call lands while the ball is still in the air. Three steps once you are inside the gates.

Sunday is Howie’s last regular-season home game after nearly four decades with the Mets, 20 of them as the lead radio voice. The club is honoring him on the field before the game. The Mets Hall of Fame broadcaster will keep hosting on-field ceremonies at Citi Field, but this is the last weekend to hear him call a pitch from the booth.
The ceremony is on the field. Howie’s last call is in your ear.
