Oh, the irony. The mascot of a professional sports team finally engages in a gesture that falls directly in line the attitude of those who he is paid to interact with.....annnnnnnd it results in him removing the obnoxiously large baseball atop his head for the last time. I get that Mr. Met can't go around giving the "middle" finger to every unruly fan, but I would think a vast majority of those in attendance actually appreciated having their costumed representation appeal to their sensibilities. After all, that damn thing has been smiling far longer than any real Mets' fan should. With the amount of happiness he's been tasked with spreading throughout a stadium that houses nothing but impending disappointment, he should reserve the right to tell some people to fuck off. You know how much sweat he has probably poured into that suit while trying make customers temporarily forget that they are paying for pathetic baseball? You'd be a little less than cheery too if you had to energetically run around for 9 innings while the players making tens of millions all-but-quit after 5. As far as am concerned, Mr. Met's explicit exasperation with everything the organization stands for is so perfectly symbolic that he deserves a raise, but - alas - 2017.
