Howie Rose is a sportscaster with the New York Mets and the New York Islanders for WFAN and Fox Sports New York.

Rose grew up a Mets fan, and graduated from Queens College. He is known for his signature phrase of "Put it in the books!" after a Mets victory. He worked the television booth until the retirement of long-time Mets radio voice Bob Murphy. Rose took Murphy's spot alongside Gary Cohen on WFAN. When Cohen took the job on new Mets network Sportsnet New York for the 2006 season, Rose shared the radio booth with Tom McCarthy.

Rose is also the play-by-play announcer for Islanders telecasts where he works alongside Joe Micheletti. Rose replaced Jiggs McDonald on Islanders broadcasts in 1995. Rose previously worked as a play-by-play radio announcer for the New York Rangers. He is most recognized by Rangers fans for his call of "Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!" made when Stephane Matteau scored the game-winning goal in double-overtime of Game Seven of the 1994 NHL Eastern Conference Finals against the New Jersey Devils.
