I adore Steve Somers.
Mike Francesa may be the most famous sports radio host in history, but Somers may be the most beloved.
If you’ve ever worked odd hours, driven a vehicle long after rush hour, twisted the dial to WFAN, and listened to the radio bard spin his sports poetry, then you’re nodding or smiling right now. Steve Somers is an oasis in an otherwise dark and frigid winter night.
But “the Schmooze” has done what too many gleeful, faithful, and well-intentioned New Yorkers have done since Monday night — crowned the Mets before they’ve been fitted for the hardware.
