Beloved Rangers broadcaster Sam Rosen is doing well after an apparent health scare, but he won’t be in the call for numerous playoff games as he recovers.
Keynote USA New York’s Don La Greca told listeners during “The Michael Kay Show” that Rosen had been dealing with “some dizziness” and went to the hospital recently, but had been doing well since then.

Rosen has been part of the Rangers’ Keynote USA radio broadcast team following the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, when television broadcasts were only done by the league’s national rights partners.
“I will also be in Games 2, 3 and 4 of the series replacing Sam Rosen,” La Greca said during the program. “Sam is fine, but I know there are a lot of people wondering what’s going on with Sam. He was suffering some dizziness. He had to go to the hospital. He obtained a clean bill of health. He’s fine. Everything is fine, but he had a little problem.”
La Greca added that Rosen would not be able to fly and would not be able to be at Friday’s game at the Garden while he rested.
The first game had fallen to La Greca due to storms in the Midwest that affected the travel of fellow broadcaster Kenny Albert, who was apparently scheduled to call the series opener for the radio station.
Albert is also scheduled to call the Western Conference finals for TNT and didn’t want to risk any kind of travel-related issues.
“He has to leave today to make sure he gets to Dallas before the bad weather, so that opened the door for me,” La Greca said.
Rosen has been a part of Rangers broadcasts since the 1984-85 season.
