Bernie M, the NY Mets mascot in full glory
In keeping with its long cherished tradition of being mathematically eliminated for pennant contention by the middle of spring training, the New York Mets selected a mascot that would represent the team's ethos in both spirit and look. Bernie M, a chihuahua of questionable origin, was selected by team owner Fred Wilpon who was emerging from a 3 day bender and in a drunken stupor.
The animal, bedecked in a miniature version of the team uniform (photo above), was introduced to the press at a local strip club after-hours party for the players and their agents.
