Mr. Met hilariously stole the seat of one of the ‘Smile’ marketeers behind home plate

We all know Mr. Met would be a perfect fit for a horror film if given the chance.

During the New York Mets’ Tuesday evening game versus the Miami Marlins, baseball fans were once again treated to one of those creeping smiling fans behind home plate. In case you missed the memo, those fans are scary — but effective! — marketeers for the upcoming horror film Smile, a creepy but genius marketing tactic all things considered.

Baseball fans noticed one of the marketeers sitting alarmingly behind the Mets’ home plate early on in the game but by the fifth inning, the woman was hilariously replaced with Mr. Met of all people!

An incredible maneuver from Mr. Met, but still somehow not any less creepy in the slightest. MLB fans thanked Mr. Met for his service to the country for ridding our television screens of those scary smiles.
