Real Mets fans know that in Mets lore there was a female character called “Lady Met” who they haven’t used in quite some time.
I was trying to find out how old The Devil Charlie Samuels is (hoping we can buy him a nice black Mets jersey for his retirement and wish him well) and I stumbled across this page on mlb.com
The picture is captioned Mr. and Mrs. Met.
Lady Met used to look like this.
Then again, Mr. Met used to look like this.
So I’m going to assume Lady Met and Mrs. Met are the same person despite their appearances. Unless everyone wants to roll with me and call this current goofball lame imitation Mr. Met II like I do.
You know what, I have changed my mind one sentence later. Mr. Met II is married to Mrs. Met. I’ll assume Mr. Met I and Lady Met retired and live somewhere near Port St. Lucie. Maybe Mr. Met II is a distant nephew or something.
Did some more research and found this ESPN video:
Was there a wedding at some point? When did he have all these kids? Did I just black out and miss all this or did the Mr. Met canon get rebooted for ESPN?
This is the kind of stuff I worry about. Help me out here folks. I know one of you is even nerdier than me and is going to point out that the Mets had a wedding between games of a doubleheader in 1994 or something.

Cant recall a wedding but there was at least one other ESPN commercial with the kids. I been looking for a while, but cant find it. And I want to say that Mrs. Met was in yet another one with Mr. Met minus the kiddies.
For a while over at HotFoot we were trying to get the Mets kids and Mrs. Met to come back and be at the games… There is NO WAY that people wouldnt go nuts over them.
Plus with the family friendly Citi Field, I can see tons of Families having picture taken with the Mets Family.
I was at a Sunday game against the Angels a couple of years back & Mr.& Mrs. Met with kid Mets rode around in a convertible. I have pictures some where.
