SNY: Jane Jarvis has fond memories of her years at Shea

But do the Mets have fond memories of Jane Jarvis...and her thump-a-whump Jimmy McGriff-ey is not your savior knuckle bashing style?

Now, as the Citi Field construction cranes continue their daily work beyond the outfield fence building a new monument to history and memory, the Mets are honoring those who made a significant contribution to the team’s 44 years since moving from the Polo Grounds.

“I can’t even bear to even think about it,” she said, her voice filling with the emotion as she speaks about the Shea’s final season. “All the memories that go with it.”

The question now is whether the organization feels just as warmly about Jarvis.

“The current management group doesn’t have any special feeling toward me,” Jarvis said. “But I would love [to be a part of that countdown] celebration. You can’t imagine what that would mean to me. I’m very frail, and I would have to have somebody walk with me.

“I think it would be wonderful if she were welcomed back as part of the countdown, or, even better, if she had a chance to play her music one last time at Shea “ said Howie Rose.

The Mets selective honoring of their past is really mind-boggling.

Yeah, and where's Mettle the Mule anyway?

I, for one, would much rather be directed to clap my hands by an irritating voice than hear original music by a distinctive artist. Wouldn't everyone?

Oh, also, I find a noise meter helps me to monitor how much noise I am hearing, since I don't have, you know, ears.

I hope the Wilpons reconsider. Met fans who go back 40+ years (i.e. Me) love Jane.
