Mike Francesa and Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo have performed many sporting miracles, both together and separately.
The invention of Radio Row. Mike Piazza to the Mets. The cancellation of the New York City Marathon. Forcing LIPA to turn the lights back on. Two revolutionary phone apps. And, apparently, Keith Hernandez’s broadcasting career.
“I was a big proponent of bringing Keith into the booth when he came,” Francesa said on his BetRivers podcast while mentioning the Mets great’s new contract to continue calling games for SNY.
