Summary
Episode 600 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features an interview with Mets broadcasters Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling.
The SNY trio talk about their popularity, working together for 20 years and their chemistry in the booth.
Cohen, Darling and Hernandez also discuss how they feel about getting shut out of calling postseason games when national broadcasts take over, being filmed during big moments for social media clips and having a new director this season. They also share their philosophy on using analytics during a broadcast, being “homers” and criticizing the Mets.
Hernandez also reveals how much he makes per year from “Seinfeld” residuals and talks about a recent chance encounter with Jerry Seinfeld in an elevator.
