According to Forbes Magazine, the recent Davie-Brown Index lists Mr. Met as the third most-influential mascot in sports, behind the San Diego Chicken and the Philly Phanatic.

i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again, the Phanatic is pure evil…e…vil

The Davie-Brown Index is used by marketers to determine a celebrity’s ability to influence brand identity with the public.

Can he pitch?

Problem is he will have a tough time passing the Steroid test. His head is as big as Bonds.

how sad is it that a fictional character with a regular body and an oversized baseball head is more influential than i will ever be in my entire life?

The Philly Phanatic is the best mascot in sports. Mr. Met has the sportscenter commercials, but the Philly Phanatic hands down beats Mr. Met in every day sports mascot ability. How can you not giggle when he swings his belly around? I mean even the umpires love him. The only way the Mets could ever equal the Philly Phanatic is if we got Pedro to paint himself green, huff some paint, and have him dance on the dugout and swing his curly locks around.

Philly Fantatic blows. He even has the mouth for it.

I Hate “Homer” The atlanta braves mascot, wayyy more than the Phanatic.. he is such a Blantant rip off of Mr. Met

Yeah, but it was great when John Stearns ran full bore from home plate to the outfield where “Chief Nockahoma” had set up, took out the teepee and took down the chief. Those were the days. John Stearns is one of my all time favorite Mets. Is my age showing?
