RIP Ralph Kiner
MLB Hall of Famer and longtime Mets announcer Ralph Kiner passed away today at the age of 91. Kiner played in the Major Leagues for 10 years and had 369 career home runs. He was a 6 time All-Star and 7 time NL home run champion. He was induced into the Hall of Fame in 1975. After his playing career ended, he went into the broadcast booth and became an announcer for the Mets beginning in 1962. Kiner was a Mets announcer from 1962-2013. He was known for his knowledge of the game and telling amazing stories about his playing career. He also hosted a postgame show called "Kiner's Korner." All Mets fans have so many fond memories of listening to Ralph's broadcasts and on "Kiner's Korner." He will be greatly missed.
