MR. MET's Interests
General
-Mr. Met leads all active Major League mascots in high fours.
-Early in his career, Mr. Met lost his voice root, root, rooting for the home team. He may be quiet now, but can gesture in 12 different languages.
-Mr. Met's head is the only earthbound orb with its own gravitational pull, explaining why fans are so drawn to him.
-Mr. Met's image debuted in 1963 when it graced the covers of the official Mets yearbook and scorecard.
-In '64, Mr. Met earned rookie-of-the-year honors as Major League Baseball's first modern live-action mascot.
-Though Mr. Met has never been seen in the same place as Super Met, there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that they are one and the same.
-On Opening Day 2000, Mr. Met became the first Major League mascot to entertain fans overseas as the Mets played their first regular season game in Japan's Tokyo Dome.
-The only current Major League player who stands as tall as Mr. Met is New York Yankees' pitcher Randy Johnson.
On the first spring morning of '63, with the dew still dampening Coogan's Bluff, Casey Stengel, the old skipper of the young Mets, saw a figure in the distance. Deep in the Polo Grounds' center field stood a fan like no other -- a fan clearly born to root for the New York Mets. Casey became so taken with the big guy, he invited him to join the Amazin's the very next year at their new park, Shea Stadium. Mr. Met was home. His baseball head began to swell with the win in '69 -- and grew even larger still in '73 and '86 and again during the Subway Series in '00. Today he joins Mets fans, both young and old, to cheer his favorite team, at every game, at the big blue ballpark in Flushing.
That Wagner! Yo, quit blowin' saves!! How did he make the ASG? On June 1st, his ERA was 0.39. After tonight's BLOWN SAVE, his ERA is 2. 31! Clint Hurdle, you should just taken Reyes or DW5!!!
Nice way to battle back tonight guys! Hope the "Maine Man" is okay after feeling that pain in his forearm! We're the only team in the division to win tonight! LETS GO METS!

Hello MR Met- Midseason and wanting to cry at times. I love the Mets so much and I hate to see them hurting and frustrated. Im in the middle of Tampa Bay Rays territory here in Florida and im still diehard Mets all the way baby! Stop by my profile and say hi sometime. It would make my day! Have a great weekend. Amanda
95 pitches (69 strikes) through 8 innings and he goes to the bullpen. That's almost as good as Santana swinging 2-0 with the bases loaded and no one out. Does anyone in a Mets uniform have any sense?? But don't worry, tomorrow SNY will tell us how El Duque is on the way back. Unfortunately, Chris Russo nailed it...this team isn't very good!
