Buzz: New Mets Voice on WFAN

Wayne Hagin is expected to be announced next week as WFAN’s new Mets radio voice alongside Howie Rose, reports Adam Rubin in the Daily News.

Last month, at this blog for Newsday, Neil Best noted that Hagin has been the front runner for the WFAN job, adding…

“Hagin created a huge stir before the 2005 season when he accused Todd Helton of the Rockies, whose games Hagin previously had called, of being on ‘the juice.’

“Helton was furious, telling ESPN at the time: ‘I would like to extend a hunting trip to him deep in the woods somewhere.’’

…from what i can gather, fans of the Rockies and Cardinals really liked hagin, who is said to be ‘a very nice guy,’ with a ‘casual, breezy, smooth voice,’ that ‘goes well with an afternoon baseball game,’ whatever that all means
