Five Questions with Mets VP of Media Relations Jay Horwitz – Big Blue View
Mets VP of Media Relations Jay Horwitz has been a New York Giants season ticket holder since 1963, which means hes seen a lot of the good and a lot of the bad over the years. We had the chance to ask Jay a few questions as we head into the big showdown with the Jets on Saturday:
Big Blue View: How long have you been a Giants fan, and what are your top two or three memories of them?
Jay Horwitz: I have been a Giants fans since 1956. I have had season tickets since 1963. Phil Simms 22-25 against Denver in the Super Bowl; the Patriots Super Bowl game; and YA Tittle throwing seven TD passes against the Redskins, I believe in the early 1960s.
