The Mets play the network's viral call for Pete Alonso's home run on the plane and give him a standing ovation

The New York Mets are widely considered the best announcers in the sport, and Thursday night provided an example of that.

Howie Rose, who has been calling Mets games since 1995 and has been a fan of the team since he was a child, was on the phone at 880 a.m. in New York, and both Rose and Pete Alonso delivered the crucial moment.

Trailing 2-0 with two outs to go, Alonso hit a three-run home run to give New York a 3-2 lead. They ultimately won 4-2 and moved past the Milwaukee Brewers into the divisional round.

If the Mets end up winning it all, Rose's call will certainly be featured in the highlight video.

“It’s gone! He did it! He did it! Pete Alonso with the most memorable home run of his career!” Rose exclaimed as the ball trickled over the fence. “Pete Alonso is keeping this fairytale season going with the fairytale momentum of his career! 3-2 New York!”

Rose and the Mets travel to Philadelphia for the NLDS against the Phillies after the champagne showers.

However, as Rose sat at the front of the plane and the rest of the team sat several rows back, someone played the call over the plane's speakers.

Rose was shy at first and even covered his ears, but the Mets players gave him a standing ovation.

The broadcaster turned around, pointed at Alonso and saluted, and the two hugged each other tightly.

PETE ALONSO SEND THE NEW YORK METS TO THE NLDS WITH A DRAMATIC HOMER IN THE NINTH INNING

Rose was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame last year along with broadcaster Gary Cohen. Thursday night's home run call automatically transitions into Rose's Mt. Rushmore of calls. Rose was also behind the microphone for Mike Piazza's home run in the Mets' first home game after 9/11 and for Stéphane Matteau's goal in 1994 that sent the New York Rangers to the Stanley Cup Final.

The miraculous victory is déjà vu for the Mets. It came just three days after the Mets rallied from trailing 3-0 in Game 8 and 7-6 in Game 9 against the Atlanta Braves to clinch a postseason berth in their first doubleheader.

Everything seemed to be going down the drain for the Mets, as after pulling Jose Quintana after six scoreless innings, they allowed back-to-back home runs to start the seventh inning. According to OPTA Stats, Alonso's shot was the first ever made by a Met while trailing in the 9th inning or later of a winner-take-all postseason game.
