Jay Horwitz today signed up to twitter. @Jay_HorwitzPR is his account. Jeff Wilpon said that if Jay reaches 10,000 followers by midnight tonight he will donate money to the Charity of Jay's choosing. Follow him so Jeff can spend some of the money he is not spending on the roster for something worthwhile.

2500 to go.
Getting there.

I started following him earlier today. There is literally no reason for any Mets fan who has a twitter account to not follow this guy. You can unfollow him at any time after midnight if you wish, and most importantly this is for CHARITY folks. You know, stuff more important than baseball in many cases.

Twitter comes in handy during the winter meetings and on July 31st the trading deadline as well as other sports important dates like those.
I follow the beat writers for all my teams as well as Heyman and other national guys. I don't follow movie stars or people like that.
You do get info fast, but it does become redundant after a while. The good guys like Heyman do give credit to others that break stories. It can be very informative.

Jay Horwitz is my favorite Met front office guy.
I went to a Met season ticket holder function two years ago and they had players and management there answering questions. After the event I had my picture taken with two people. Mr Met and Jay. Nothing says Mets like Mr. Met and Jay Horwitz.

"I think twitter is stupid personally. I don't need to know celebrities every move. There are plenty of outlets to find news up to the minute. But I hope he makes it."

I only use it for Mets/Giants news, the biggest "celebrity" I follow is probably Sandy Alderson.

He's the best

You can't be much older then me.
Who were your grandparents the Kramdens?
Those are the last people in America that had an Icebox. LOL

I'll be 50 on opening day. I always remember my family having a fridge.
Well we made it this far rooting for this team. I guess it's true what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

He just got 10k with less than an hour left

I saw that. Good news for some charity.

I would love it if Jay selected the Mets OF as the charity

There are enough Mets PR guys on this board. No need to follow Horwitz.
