Ingber is known as the “Bishop of Bivalves,” while Francesa has been referred to in some quarters as the “Sports Pope,” so it was a meeting of the Holy Order, indeed. The host of Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN is in his final year at the station after a storied 30-year career. Ingber is in his 27th year at the Oyster Bar, which was a sponsor of the has anniversary broadcast, and served seafood delicacies to the broadcasters, producers and sales staff. Ingber has been a “long time listener,” during his drive home to the Island after a long day buying at the fish market and then preparing New York’s freshest seafood for New Yorkers and international visitors alike.
