New York Mets vs Colorado Rockies: Mr. Met at the Unisphere Light-Up Bobblehead
About This Event
The New York Mets host the Colorado Rockies at Citi Field for an event titled "Mr. Met at the Unisphere Light‑Up Bobblehead." Mr. Met, introduced in the early 1960s as an illustrated figure and later embodied as an on‑field performer, operates through pantomime and timed rituals; the Rockies, founded in 1993, appear as the visiting club.

Mr. Met
Mr. Met is the on-field persona of the New York Mets, a mascot whose history predates most of the costumed characters that now populate Major League Baseball. First introduced in the early 1960s as an illustrated figure, he later became a live performer when the club settled into stadium life, establishing a model for human-scale mascots in the sport.
