AP- New York Mets mascot Mr. Met went berserk at Citi Field today and began a bloody rampage that killed six fans and critically wounded seven others. He had to be shot to death by stadium security, leaving unanswered questions about what drove him to this explosion of violence.
"This is a real tragedy, for all mascots," spoke Mr. Mets' longtime associate Philly Phanatic. "I know he was going through a brutal divorce but I had no idea he was this despondent." The Phanatic then pantomimed jumping-jacks for the next forty-five minutes.Investigators trying to reassemble the sequence of events that led to the grisly slayings believe that Mr. Met showed up at Citi Field at his usual time and promptly began throwing baseballs at spectator's heads. When a security guard confronted him Mr. grabbed a 31 oz. maple bat and began bashing in the brains of fans and vendors.
The game was delayed by the senseless brutality, and Mr's bullet-riddled body had to be air-lifted off the field by a medi-chopper. He is survived by his wife, two plush toys, a bobblehead and a keychain. The team is asking fans to remember Mr. Met in his better days, when he wasn't cracking your children's skulls with a Louisville Slugger. I think Mr. Met would have liked it that way...
