The New York Mets already have two of the most iconic mascots in baseball with Mr. and Mrs. Met. With the 2025 season just days away, the franchise introduced a slew of new characters, each representing one of New York's five boroughs, for a series of mid-game races that will take place at Mets home games at Citi Field this season.
Yes, the Mets are cribbing this concept from the Milwaukee Brewers' sausage race (which has already inspired similar events with the Pittsburgh Pirates' Great Pierogi Race and the Washington Nationals' presidents race). Still, the five mascots and the details on the costumes are absolutely perfect.
