Mets Horowitz on Gooden-gate

From the Post.

“We got a lot of calls on this and it was a topic on [sports radio] all day, so we’re going to listen to the fans,” Mets PR chief Jay Horwitz said last night.

According to Horwitz, the section of the Ebbets Club wall with Gooden’s autograph will be removed and put behind fiberglass at a to-be-determined spot in the park more accessible to fans.

The Mets also will cut out a large enough section of the wall for other former stars such as Mike Piazza, Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman to add their signatures to Gooden’s or create other formats for them to do so.

“This is a way for us to honor our past,” Horwitz said.

You know that cheer we do after someone throws a strike after walking 3 guys on 12 pitches?  I’m doing that one now.  Jay, I’m here if you want to pick my brain further.
