While most of baseball rested and recharged over the All-Star break, Mr. Met came back for the second-half opener with a couple of bumps and bruises.
The Mets mascot had the second-most viral concert moment this past week when he took a spill at the Lumineers concert at Citi Field.
Mr. Met hilariously played into his epic fail by showing up in Flushing on Friday night with some bandages, a sling and a crutch.
At the concert last week, Mr. Met strolled toward the middle of the stage before misstepping and walking directly off the stage in a total wipeout.
He fell heavily to the ground, and for a brief moment, his enormous baseball-shaped head disappeared, only to reappear shortly after, signaling to the audience that he was fine and ready to receive their cheers.
“No need to worry, I’m not feeling too ‘Ophelia,'” Mr. Met wrote on his official X account, making a playful nod to the song “Ophelia” by the band. “Appreciate the invite, @thelumineers!”
He got some support from Mrs. Met, too.
“Love my man, on and off the stage,” Mrs. Met posted to X.
Also part of his epic fail at the concert, Mr. Met failed to catch a tambourine thrown to him by Lumineers lead singer Wesley Schultz.
The mascot redeemed himself Friday night by making a tambourine catch through his “injuries.”
Mr. Met broke through his arm sling and tossed his crutch aside while he and the stadium jammed out to “Ophelia.”
The mascot could’ve gone down the route of the alleged Coldplay affair, but Mr. Met has owned it.
