Announcing career
Before becoming an announcer for the New York Mets, Anthony was the PA announcer for New York Islanders games at the Nassau Coliseum from 1995 to 1998. Anthony also announced New York Jets games at Giants Stadium and New Meadowlands Stadium from 2002 to 2008, while also announcing for the New York Mets. He later became the backup PA announcer for the New York Rangers from 2008 to 2012 while still continuing to announce for the Mets. In the offseason before the 2018 season, Anthony was fired from the Mets.[1][2] He returned to the New York Islanders since their move to the Barclays Center in 2015, when then-Islanders PA Announcer Roger Luce was unavailable. He went back to full-time for the Islanders in 2019, as he called every game of the 2019–2020 season, and continued to do so for the Islanders final season at Nassau Coliseum.[3][4] and is one of two game day PA announcers for the New York Jets.Шаблон:Citation needed
