For the second time, comedian Jerry Seinfeld will join the SNY booth for a New York Mets game. Seinfeld joins Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez for the game involving the San Francisco Giants taking on the Mets at Citi Field.
Seinfeld is a huge Mets fan and Hernandez made an appearance on his old NBC series back in the 1990’s. So Jerry makes his second appearance on SNY. His first was back in 2010 which went something like this:

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld to Join SNY’s Mets Coverage on Tuesday, September 17th
Seinfeld to call Mets-Giants game with Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling and Gary Cohen
[New York] Monday, September 16, 2013 – SNY, the official television home of the New York Mets and New York Jets, today announced that comedian Jerry Seinfeld will join the network’s Emmy Award-winning Mets coverage on Tuesday, September 17th. Beginning with SNY’s pre-game show at 6:00pm, Seinfeld will team up with lead studio analyst Bob Ojeda and host Chris Carlin on Mets First Pitch. Following the pre-game show, Seinfeld will head up to the SNY broadcast booth to join Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling and Gary Cohen – widely recognized as the best broadcast team in all of baseball – to handle the play-by-play for the Mets-Giants game.
“Four guys who love to talk sharing one broadcast booth sounds like a bad idea on its face. I don’t even know if the chairs will fit,” said Seinfeld, creator and host of the Emmy-nominated web show Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. “But to spend an evening with Keith, Ron and Gary, I will stand if I have to. Those guys, and the incredible Bobby Ojeda, are the all-star team of baseball broadcasting.”
This will mark the second time that Seinfeld has called a New York Mets game. On June 23, 2010 he received rave reviews for his play-by-play work with Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen in the SNY booth.
That’s all.
