Vivacious Field equaled Victorious Shea 25 years ago.
If you watched the 1986 World Series or have seen enough of the footage, you know there was a vivacious lady who did her part to win the damn thing for the Mets by rolling, rolling, rolling her arms from a seat behind home plate while Red Sox hurlers hurled. The distracting maneuver was obviously effective because the Mets won the World Series (don’t tell Pythagoras how our logic works). Anyway, Mark Simon of ESPN New York, a longtime friend of FAFIF, is looking for the rolling arms lady — her name is Bo Field. Why? We’re not fully certain, but if Mark’s seeking to contact her, there must be a good Mets story in the offing.
She’s been to Citi Field all decked out in her Mets finery, so we know she’s still rooting if not rolling for the home team. If you happen to know a way to get in touch with her, please contact us at faithandfear@gmail.com. Many thanks.

Bo knows baseball!
Whatever happened to Hilda Chester?
She’s with Joe Hatten in Ebbetts Field North.
“North” as in “way up in the sky north”.
Under a black cloud, given today’s date.
And all the time I thought it was Keith Hernandez remaining in the clubhouse that caused us to win game six….
Had an ice cream truck route for last ten years in Old Bridge NJ. Customers saw my truck decked out in Mets gear and we started talking. Turns out the rolling arms lady is their
Aunt. I will send along this link/request to them and let them answer.
Thanks, Pat. Any lead will help.
Sounds like a 25 years later story is in the works.
I was friends with Bo from 1987 when I started working as a hot dog vendor at Shea Stadium. I saw her a few times a year until about a year ago. I have not been able to reach her by phone in almost a year and as of about 2 months ago, both of her phone numbers are not in operation. I fear that she is no longer with us. I have not had a chance to go to NJ and try knocking on her door. I will miss her. She was a wonderful person.
