Join Jay Horwitz as he sits down with beloved Mets figure Tony Carullo for a heartwarming, hilarious, and history-packed episode of Amazing Conversations. With over 50 years of service, Tony has seen it all — from clubhouse pranks to World Series wins, iconic players, unforgettable moments, and now... a clubhouse named in his honor.

Tony shares stories from his early days as a ball boy in 1969, the evolution of the game, what it was like behind the scenes during the 1986 World Series, and his bond with legends like Chipper Jones, David Wright, Terry Collins, John Franco, and more.
