According to John Doyle at the New York Post, a belligerent fan was “harassing Mr. Met and pushing little children out of the way” during the May 31st game at Shea Stadium.
Doyle also notes that Jay Horwitz, the Mets’ VP of Media Relations declined to comment.
…i’m sure that this is a very low priority for jay right now…
…i wouldn’t get in the ring with mr. met, his hands are the size of basketballs, but he certainly is one big target…shame on you christian hansen…

Now this just makes my blood boil!
Who was this jerk? I know Mr. Met can handle his own, but honestly, must this jerk push children? He deserves a beating!
You definitely can’t make a story like this up.
What an idiot. Some people have huge inferiority complexes.
In fairness to that guy, how do you not have an inferiority complex when next to Mr. Met?
‘Cause he’s only got one ball, & it’s sticking out of his head?
Yea….well that yutz sat down directly right in front of me at Mets at the Movies…..
Which was kinda funny….(people yelling down in front and all)…..until it wasnt really funny anymore that I had a giant baseball head in front of me and I couldnt see the game…
I was at the event too and wish that he had blocked my view of that game. You were fortunate.
Touche….
You gonna go to Part Deux against the Reds? I thought it was OK, but not really worth $12….
If they are out of it by then its gonna be like Shindlers List is playiong in that theatre….a sad sad place to be…
At last year’s event they had middle inning Q&A’s with Bud Harrelson, Lee Mazzilli, and vendors were walking around like it was a ballpark. This year had none of that and I thought it was kind of boring.
I’m not sure why they messed with the formula of a successful event so I’ll probably pass on round 2.
Ah man….really? That what I was expecting. Instead I got 2 vendors outside selling crappy popcorn and the biggest Mets ‘celebrity’ was the dude that announces the players for their AB’s….and of course Mr Met…..
I thought the in-between innings questions were geared for morons too…and even the prizes sucked….
I’m gonna pass too….$12 to watch on a big screen(with no pomp or circumstance) is too much, even in NYC….
Can he play firstbase? He’s got alot of fight.
And of course willie just sat in the dugout and did nothing as usual
ok ok I am truly sorry for what happened but lets get the facts straight. After a couple of beers and sitting in the sun all day I went to say hi to the beloved mascot, Mr. Met. Due to a previous injury in my knee I had also popped a couple of vicodin and was slighlty woozy. As I strolled towards the big headed freak it suddenly dawned on me that he was being attacked by litlle people, so I threw them to the side by their faces, they were so upset they burst into tears, silly little people.
In hindsight I realize now that these little people were kids but again I was a bit tipsy. As I got to the bulbous faced wonder I told him how I protected him from the little n’er do wells, but he admonished me with two thumbs down. I was upset with his lack of appreciation and I gave him to thumbs up, ummm perhaps not my thumbs, but two fingers were definitely raised, one on each hand. I simply wanted to rub his massive shaped pedendum when I was struck by 2 gentelman who must have been the protectors of the little people becuase they wore all orange jackets and referred to themselves as mr and mr horowitz. All in all it was a sad day and I apologize for my antics, but I was just trying to protect our beloved MR. MET.
OK, be careful next time. I hear rumors that Alou sometimes assumes the role of Mr Met with Elduque to help alleviate their contract obligation that is not taking place on the field. God knows we would like to have them back on the field sometime soon.
WOW, you guys are beating up little kids and your beloved Mr. Met, thats sad…
…If anyone ever came near the Phanatic with intent to harm, he’d be killed on the spot, no questions asked.
Go Phillies!
wow, thats awesome
What’s sad is you coming on a metsblog and not even having the balls to comment on a post of significance where people would actually read it. Piss off troll.
He’s probably too drunk to offer anything rational anyway. I would think there is more in life then going on other teams sites and throwing out propaganda. But then again there really isnt much to do in Philadelphia. Sorry, my bad.
Please. The “phanatic” isn’t even real. You guys have so little imagination that to represent your team, you chose…a non-existent creature, gloppy-shaped & slime-green, with a name that has no relation to anything uniquely related to your team or its city. Even your uniforms are ill-conceived–for those with no knowledge of their history, they look like a rip-off of the flag; but they’re really just reactivations of an old style the phils wore long ago. And so they’re not even creatively designed enough to have actually ripped off the flag…and that’s pathetic. What ever happened to your baby-blue uniforms, anyway? They were the hippest.
Dude, I can see like 80% of your head…
I don’t comment on anything else because all you have written about on here the last bunch of posts on here is about your minor league system and who you should bring up to play, the fact that you have no starters in the all star game, mr. met getting molested, the possibility of the mets going 60-40 the rest of the year (which is laughable), rebuilding the team for the year, darryl strawberry, sandwiches at shea, and willie and his fitness programs.
I dont comment on other posts because I dont know anything about your farm system or it has nothing to do with baseball, or I just dont care…I just posted in here because I thought it was a little funny.
The only thing “laughable” is the fact that you have chosen the name “phillyrulez.” Was “phillyrawwks” unavailable?
Mr Met knocking out the Philly Phanatic, now that is funny.
perhaps you are just a young philly fan who doesn’t realize mascot molesting is barely a minor offense in your part of the country. Remember philly fans are the same ones who pelted santa with ice balls and cheered for michael irvin who left the field on a stretcher, but your right mets fans are sick, sick, sick. You are in first though and on the way to another world series title since…..um….since, help me out here, when was it?
“Potent, it stings the nostrils”.
Right, and you forgot the Phillies fans cheering Reyes because he was writhing around on the ground. I can only imagine what would have happened if Ryan Church had been knocked unconscious in Philly….a standing ovation?
The point being you’re not even a courageous troll, your a gutless one, by far the worse kind. Moreover, you’re a Philly fan – given that fans are validated in puffing out their chests based off rings, why, ahem, are you talking smack again?
ah you beat me to it dave56
C’mon guys, cut him some slack. After all, “philly rulez.”
this thread would be a lot more fun if they didn’t really ‘rule’
Mr Met should have headbutted him.
I don’t want to come in between you guys and the Phillies fan, but I wanted to know if y’all interact with any Fish and Nats fans on this blog. You guys are amusing on here, keep it up.
Not really. I mean, miami rulez? DC rulez? I don’t think so. Only philly rulez.
yeah i wouldn’t mess with mr. met either, he has ham hands!
