Kevin Burkhardt was the answer to Mets’ play-by-play dilemma

The answer to when the TV voice of the Mets, Gary Cohen, has days off in the future is so obvious it hurts.

Bring back Kevin Burkhardt to call the games.

Burkhardt, who received his big TV break from SNY, was as good a sideline reporter as we have ever seen. He left SNY to become an even bigger star as Fox’s lead baseball studio host and its No. 2 NFL play-by-player. He is beloved by Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling. Plus, he is already getting extra reps — besides his Fox play-by-play — doing some Tampa Rays games.
