One of my favorite random Mets topics….Mr Met 1.5!
As much as the Mets act like they love Mr. Met these days, he was a complete non-entity for about 15 years. Then…THIS showed up!
At some point I dubbed this character “Mr. Met 1.5” which seems to have stuck (Mr. Met being the character in the museum and Mr. Met 2 being the current design).
Mr. Met 1.5 had TUDE. It was the 90s. Itchy, Scratchy & Poochy. Everything had to be XTREME. So Mr. Met came back with an attitude and a scary look in his eye.
It didn’t last long, there are very few images, and like much of the 1990s in Queens, best forgotten.
