Mets Play-by-Play Man Gary Cohen Shows Off Luscious, Long-Lost Locks

In his college days, SNY's Gary Cohen had a mighty mane.

During last night's Met–Cardinals tilt, it came to the attention of color cohorts Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling that rock-solid play-by-play man Gary Cohen carries a picture in his wallet from his senior year at Columbia. Why would a grown-ass man carry around a college picture from the early 1980s you ask?

Just look at the hair. It's a glorious mane the likes of which have never been seen on buttoned-down Gary, due to the conservative nature of sports television broadcasts and also because he now sports a modified power donut.

The 2016 Mets are a team of hair farmers, so it's a shame Cohen's days as a less-heralded member of Stillwater are gone by. I mean, dude didn't even need conditioner. That is some kind of coif.

As Ron praises Gary's "Jesus Christ Superstar" look, Keith elicits text responses to the question of whether parents would let their daughters date Wolfman Chris Elliott. (Get with the times, Hernandez. Thor himself says 90 percent of the women he comes in contact with love them goldie locks.)

In a wistful moment, Cohen says he keeps a photo of the Haight-Ashbury halo as a reminder of what life used to be like. Back in the day, Gary Cohen was cool. The Panthera Leo, man, it's seen some things (including the Ramones, fifty times). The headdress, it partied. Oh the stories that hair could tell.
