[edit] Biographical Information
Fran Healy has been a broadcaster for the New York Mets since 1994.
During the 2005 home opener, Healy waited about 9 minutes into a batter's eye malfunction delay to say "There appears to be something wrong with the batter's eye". During those 9 minutes the other Mets broadcasters had been talking about how Pedro Martinez, whose image was currently on the malfunctioning batter's eye, was riling up the crowd by dancing around the front of the Mets dugout.
Healy's father Bernard played in the minors for the New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals and his uncle was Francis Healy.
