Despite being a die-hard Mets fan, I’ve never liked the team’s mascot Mr. Met. To me, he doesn’t really symbolize the team in the way other teams’ mascots do. However, I don’t think I’d go as far as one native of Brooklyn did last weekend, as reported by the New York Post:

“Cops called out a rowdy baseball buff who tried to take on Mr. Met.

At a recent game, the drunken fan manhandled the Amazin’s smiling, giant-baseball-headed mascot, police said. He also allegedly knocked down kids and took a swing at a security guard.”

Worrying signs that things still aren’t all sweetness and light up at Shea…
