With so many Mets-related people at the conference, it got me thinking about one major Mets employee whos not expected to attend: principal owner Fred Wilpon.There are a lot of reasons for Mr. Wilpon to skip the event. By and large, its a celebration for fans, organized by fans.Its not as if Sandy Alderson will make an appearance, either. Terry Collins wont be at Hofstra, as the Mets will be playing on all three days of the conference.However, I believe Mr. Wilpon has an opportunity to create some goodwill with the fans, perhaps.If he were to show up at the conference, say a few words and show some appreciation for the loyal fans who bleed for this team, through thick and thin, I really think that could go a long way.
