I don’t know how anyone could like the Phillie Phanatic. He is harassing and idiotic. He literally harasses people in the stands. If he did that to me I would get kicked out of the stadium because I wouldn’t put up with that crap. Mr Met is very fan friendly and seems like the prototype for all the mascots seen around sports now.

“In ’64, Mr. Met earned rookie-of-the-year honors as Major League Baseball’s first modern live-action mascot.”

Hi Jessep,

I know Mr. Met was there at Shea that first season but am not quite sure if he might not have been around when they were in the Polo Grounds. I think the 1963 promo film might have him appearing on field during that first Banner Day. Know he didn’t parade the expensive seats back then as he does now.

But wish he would do some stuff on the top of the dugout or between innings on the field like the Fanatic and others do.

Yes, Mr. Met was MLB’s first “live” mascot in 64 though I think.

When Mr. Met was born back in 1963, I don’t know if any other teams had actual live mascots so our guy might be the first.

Many have probably seen the original Mr. Met costume in Citi Field’s Mets Hall of Fame.
