Mr. Met to help open Bloomberg campaign office in Queens

The New York Mets’ big-headed, iconic mascot — Mr. Met — is going to help presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg play political hardball.

Mr. Met will be on hand to pitch the opening of the Bloomberg campaign’s new office at 39-36 Bay Boulevard in Bayside, Queens Thursday night.

While not an official endorsement from the Mets organization, Mr. Met is a beloved good luck charm who knows that Amazin’ things can happen in a political campaign as well as on the baseball diamond.

And if Bloomberg doesn’t get elected, diehard Mets fan might be interested in having the billionaire former three-term New York City mayor acquire the Amazins.
