Thanks to the New York Mets, today is not a normal day in New York City.
For the first time in over 3,000 days, the Mets are set to host a playoff game beyond a wild card appearance in the MLB postseason. As many fans made their way to Citi Field in Queens, one very special guest joined a few of them on the train.
It was the McDonald’s character Grimace, who has served as a good luck charm for the team during the magical 2024 season. Fans seemed beyond excited to see the large purple mascot.

This moment looked incredibly exciting for everyone involved, Grimace included.
There are 11 cars on the 7-line train that will have custom decals devoted to Grimace, per the MTA:
