If you watch any SNY broadcasts of the New York Mets you’ve probably heard his name mentioned. If you’re a keen listener, you’ve also probably heard the legend of his large melon. But for 30 years as of today, Jay Horowitz has been making the Mets who they are.
Filip Bondy has a wonderful profile in the Daily News today, and it’s a must read for Mets fans.
There was one part that stuck out to me and actually made me laugh out loud.
And that time Anna [Benson] dressed up in a low-cut Santa Claus suit, handing out goodies to kids at a club function?
"Say what you want, but the next day we were on the back page of the Daily News, Newsday and the Post," Horwitz says.
Take a few minutes and go read Bondy’s “In 30th year as P.R. man for Mets, Jay Horwitz shares Amazin' memories.” It’s a great tribute to a man who’s been through the very good and the very bad with the team we all love.
