MMO Weekly Episode 85: Stories with Mets Legend Jay Horwitz
Mets fans, an all-new episode is here!
This week Mike and I are joined by long-time head of public relations and current VP of Mets Alumni Relations, the legendary Jay Horwitz! Jay had some great conversations with us about getting his start with the team and his memorable interview, his relationship with the late Shannon Forde, his most memorable moment working for the team, orchestrating Old Timer’s Day in 2022, and much more!
What was it like getting to work with a superstar like David Wright for his entire career? For Jay, getting to watch Wright the player was a pleasure, but it’s the person who Wright is that makes him so special:
“I always tell people, Wright was a seven-time all star, and as good a player as he was, he was a seven times better person. He has a great sense of community, he started his own foundation at 22, and I never had to ask him to do something twice. Whether it was asking him to write a letter to a sick child or to make a call to someone who was injured, Wright was always there, never turned away an autograph, and unfortunately because of injuries that happened might still be playing, and probably well on his way to a hall of fame career too. But, he is just a delightful person and really understood what it meant to be a player in New York.”
