Mets Accidentally Donate Mr. Met To Charity In Coat Drive Mishap

The Mets held their winter coat drive on Wednesday and while it was a success it may have come at a price.  Apparently Mr. Met was just finished loading some coats into a truck as part of a promotional photo shoot when some overzealous workers piled in some more bags, trapping the Mets mascot.

When the Mets figured out what happened they quickly called the organization New York Cares
to get him back.  Unfortunately, Mr. Met had already been processed and reassigned to Meals on Wheels as a food delivery person.

The Mets are currently in negotiations to have the mascot returned but according to a team source, Meals on Wheels is asking for top dollar and the team does not have that kind of room in their budget.  Negotiations could continue through the winter but the Mets are optimistic that Mr. Met will return by opening day or May at the latest.  In the meantime the club has called up Sandy The Seagull from the Brooklyn Cyclones to handle promotional duties.
