Statement borrowed from my friends at Mets Blog. I don’t know what has or hasn’t been announced but Frank deserves a uniform patch or an armband. Nobody has approached his work in 25 years.
“On behalf of all of us at the Mets, we extend our deepest condolences to Jean Cashen and her entire family,” Mets Chairman and CEO Fred Wilpon said in a statement. “Frank Cashen revitalized our franchise when he took over in 1980 as General Manager and helped engineer us to a World Championship in 1986. I dealt with Frank on a daily basis and he was a man of integrity and great passion. No one had a more diverse career than Frank. He was also a lawyer, sports writer and marketing executive. His accomplishments will always be an integral part of our team history.”
