Hey remember I was telling you how awesome the Mets Complete Illustrated History is and how you should buy it? (especially if last night’s under $20 price is still there)
Well, I got to the 1994 page and saw THIS
WHAT?
WHEN?
THIS HAPPENED?
Now for me…1994…let’s see, I was really into my new girlfriend (you know her as Mrs. Mets Police) and I had gotten a full-time job, and the Mets sucked and we didn’t have the internet, so I could see how I missed this….
…but in 3 full years of blogging and ranting about how Mr. Met Prime (you can see him in the museum) is way cooler than Swishy (the modern faux-Mr. Met) not one of you mentioned this.
WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?
I kind of like him better than Swishy, and I’ll you one thing – Mr. Met 1.5 would never charge you to print out tickets at home.
that is one weird pic of Mr. met
he looks like charlie sheen.
yeah, i don’t think i like this one. reminds me a bit of the Yankees mascot.
the yankees have a mascot?
who is it and why?
Dandy?
this is the Mr. Met that “sang” take me out to the ballgame, with the 9 dancing baseball gloves behind him, during the 7th inning stretch. saw him several times that year. he rocked!
Really? Wow I must have really been into girls that summer
can he come back? Maybe he is Mr. Met’s older much cooler rebel brother?
9 dancing gloves?
yes! the gloves did a little kick step dance behind Mr. Met. it was so cool! only did it for that one year. luckily, I had season tix that year.

he’s retired. he sucked.
could not have been no worse than the crazy crab mascot the giants had in the 80’s.
i have a mets letter head from the 70’s with lady met (his wife( and plato met (his son) are they still around?
Plato Met??
If he’s from 1994, “Mets” on his jersey should be underlined. Unless they gave Mr. Met a new jersey before they put the team in it, that’s either from ’95 or ’96, possibly ’97 if he was late getting the orange button on his cap.
