I just found out that Mr. Met is up for the Mascot Hall of Fame, but apparently it doesn't look good:

With three weeks' voting to go, he is trailing behind the San Antonio Spurs' Coyote, a bloodshot-eyed rodent who looks like a chipmunk on crack.

The competition:
Youppi (Montreal Expos/Canadiens)
Hugo The Hornet (New Orleans Hornets)
The Coyote (San Antonio Spurs)
The Mariner (Seattle Mariners)
The Oriole Bird (Baltimore Orioles)
