Kevin Burkhardt returns to the Mets to start the World Series

Kevin Burkhardt, long-time in-game reporter for the Mets on SNY, left baseball after the 2014 season, never to be heard from again. Well, except on FOX NFL brodcasts.

But now he's back with the Mets! Sort of! He'll be helping to cover the World Series on FS1 and Fox Sports, which is great news for Mets fans who have never quite recovered from his absence. Here he is before showtime with the man who replaced him on SNY, Steve Gelbs.

Ohhhhh do we have something special for you coming up in our #WorldSeries pre-game coverage at 6pm on @SNYtv pic.twitter.com/SlcfMdhcF1
