According to the Marketing Arm’s Davie Brown Index, Mr. Met is the Top Sports Mascot of 2008, beating out the Phillie Phanatic and Wally the Green Monster, among others, for the top spot.

In a report for Forbes about the results, Tom Van Riper says, “Perhaps it’s an omen that things will improve for New York in 2009.”

Speaking of awards…

For the third year in a row, David Wright is the winner of the Fan Friendly Award from I Love My Team, beating out Jeff Francoeur, Jason Giambi, Lyle Overbay and Vance Wilson.

by the way, i do not reference I Love My Team enough… Johanna Wagner does a great job with it, and i apologize for not linking to her more, mostly because she does not have permalink posts or an RSS feed… but, that’s really no excuse, because it’s still an informative site… keep up the great work, johanna
