In honor of his June 12th birthday, McDonald’s beloved purple mascot Grimace threw out the first pitch at Citi Field on Wednesday night.
The fact that a gigantic purple blob threw a baseball within the same vicinity of home plate gave the New York Mets fans in attendance some hope that at least something might go right in their ballpark this season.
Sad days fill the stands at Citi Field this season as the lowly Mets are 28-37 and fully en route to another lost season.
Nothing seems to go right for New York these days, so the McDonald’s mascot that looks like a radioactive, low-key thicc Chicken McNugget throwing a decent first pitch at Citi Field has to count for something.

Maybe the Grimace first pitch will spark some good luck for Mets fans, or maybe it’ll just inspire them to drown their sorrows with a Grimace Milkshake if their local McDonald’s will bring it back just for them.
If not, well, there’s been enough grimacing at Citi Field this season. Maybe this will make Mets fans smile for once.
