Meet The Team

Mark Rosenman is a longtime New York sports radio personality and published author and writer. Rosenman's radio career began in 1980 on WGLI "The Mighty" 1290 AM. After a 25 year hiatus, where he coached a travel baseball team which included Arizona Diamondbacks first round draft pick Mike Belfiore, he returned to the radio scene in 2007 as the host of SportsTalkNY on WLIE 540 AM. The show includes interviews with current and former players, broadcasters and other sports media personalities.

Rosenman covers both the New York Mets and New York Rangers and has made numerous appearances on ESPN, NHL Network, CBS with Steve Overmyer and on FOX with Tina Cervasio on Sports Xtra as well as on radio on WFAN.

A.J. Carter is an award-winning newspaperman, who spent 34 years at Newsday as a reporter, editor, and columnist, including seven years as the Deputy Sports Editor. He directed coverage of such events as the New York Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup run and the New York Yankees late 90's Championship teams. 

Jim Cerny brings more than 30 years of experience, plus a passion for Mets reporting, to KinersKorner.com. For more than a decade he worked in minor league baseball as a play-by-play broadcaster and media relations director. Cerny had the good fortune to work with Rickey Henderson and Jose Lima, among other notables, at the Newark Bears, where he was assistant general manager. He's also written for The New York Times, been a talk-host at Sirius/XM and managing editor of NHL.com and Sporting News. Baseball is not Cerny’s only game. He was the radio play-by-play voice for the New York Islanders and spent nine years with the New York Rangers as their in-house beat reporter and digital content manager. Born and raised in Queens, walking distance to the E and F trains and a transfer to the No. 7, Cerny has spent many hours of his life both professionally and socially at Shea Stadium and Citi Field.

Russ Cohen has extensive radio experience, including NHL Network Radio, TSN 1050 and Sportstalkny. His articles have been syndicated in newspapers across the country.

Cohen will co-host "Down on the Korner" as well as contribute articles on the Mets and Mets Collectibles.

John Coppinger has loved baseball since he went to nine Mets games in 1979. They lost all nine. But after the Mets swept the Cardinals on the last weekend of the '79 season to avoid 100 losses, his optimism was off the charts. It led him to an internship with "This Week in Baseball" and a 32-year career in sports television. But he is best known in the online world as "Metstradamus," his nom de plume since 2005. It was then that he started "The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus," which was recognized as Metsblog's "best new blog" in 2006. That made Coppinger an award winner along with being really full of himself. He thinks Yoenis Cespedes is under appreciated and is still upset that Darren O'Day was lost on waivers to the Texas Rangers in 2009.

 Noah Glickman is a freshman at the University of Massachusetts, studying Sports Journalism and Political Science. He plans to bring his youthful perspective when writing about the Mets for Kinerskorner.com. Glickman currently is part of the on-air sports team at WMUA and is a passionate Mets fan.
