Mets PA Announcer Does Walk Up Audio Clips

Amid the bad news we have been getting in the last weeks, there are some heartwarming stories.  Colin Cosell is stadium announcer for the New York Mets.  Since MLB, like all other sports is in hiatus, Cosell has been making walk up clips for various fans.
If you have been to a Major League Baseball game, you will hear each batter introduced with a clip of a certain song.  Cosell is in the process of making clips for fans who contact him on twitter using #callmeupcolin.  
Many of the clips that Colin has done have been for health care workers who work countless hours risking their lives to combat the Corona Virus crisis.
Colin is the grandson of the late Howard Cosell, a sports broadcasting trail blazer and probably the best sports announcer of all time.  Colin has been on social media for the better part of a decade, connecting with fans of  Howard.  I have told Colin what an inspiration  Mr. Cosell has been for me.
In the last few years, Colin has been working with family members  and fans to get Howard into the NFL Hall Of Fame.
