	Athletes - Fran Healy

Francis Xavier Healy (born September 6, 1946 in Holyoke, Massachusetts), is a former baseball catcher who next worked on television broadcasts for the New York Mets on the MSG network and Fox Sports Net-New York. In his baseball career, Healy played for the Kansas City Royals, San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees, accumulating a .250 career batting average. After his playing career ended in 1978, he worked on radio broadcasts for the Yankees, and from 1979 to 1982, he was a television announcer for the Yankees. Healy was noted for his close relationship with Reggie Jackson while on the Yankees, and served as a mediator between the fiery slugger and Yankee manager Billy Martin.

Healy, who has worked on Mets telecasts since 1984, is also the host of Mets Inside Pitch and Halls of Fame. Since Keith Hernandez was added to Mets telecasts, Healy and Hernandez's game-calling has often been humorous, pointing to a sometimes-contentious relationship between the two. Healy has not been signed to be part of the Mets' new cable channel for 2006.
