A weekend in which the Mets honored multiple legends in their franchise’s history concluded with the team renaming their press box Sunday for beloved longtime media relations honcho Jay Horwitz.
“It’s crazy, when I first started [in 1980] I never could have imagined this in a million years,” said Horwitz, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks. “To work for some place for 42 years, it makes you feel like you still make a difference in what you do.”
Former head of Mets media relations Jay Horwitz is honored during a ceremony Sunday renaming the media room as the “Jay Horwitz Press Box.”Current owner Steve Cohen, past owner Fred Wilpon and Mets luminaries Mookie Wilson, Tim Teufel, John Franco, Todd Zeile, Ron Darling, Omar Minaya, Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins were among those who showed up to honor Horwitz, as well as the family of late media relations associate Shannon Dalton Forde.
