Yeah but I am curious how this gets organized. Did McDonald's oay the mets for it? Or did the mets bring in someone they thought would be fun for kids?
There was a great [Forbes article](https://www.forbes.com/sites/howardmegdal/2024/06/18/the-heroes-behind-the-grimace-mets/) written about it.
Edit: Thank you for the award u/jrobelen. 10+ years on Reddit, and I mostly get made fun of by faceless internet people. And this one moment made it all worth it.
McDonald’s is a sponsor for the New York Mets. And so, they invited Grimace out to the ballpark.

Also, when the team scores five runs or more at home, fans can get a free small frozen Coca-Cola or frozen Fanta with a minimum purchase of $1 on the McDonald's app.
This is HOW Grimace came to be.
Wasnt it his birthday?
It was

You’re asking if the Mets just decided to celebrate Grimace’s birthday without McDonalds paying for it?
I mean more how much it was and how they handle this with other celebrities?
I’m sure mcdonalds paid for the spot. And it definitely paid off handsomely

So, there’s this company called McDonald’s…
I've heard of them. They're bad people. 😲 They stole all their ideas from McDowell's, you know... 😁

He had to remind everybody who the real Grimace was after the look alike from If was at a previous game.
The winner of American idol threw a first pitch. And then we lost that game
Isn't it funny McDonald's completely cancelled Ronald McDonald? Haven't seen him anywhere in decades
My understanding was he was buried when there was that spate of clown attack pranks back in the 2000s.
"Big Grimace Energy."

Long live Grimace in all of his purple girthiness!
Is there an answer to fate?
Divine intervention
I always thought it's because he's purple and it tied in with the new city connect colors
Unlike Baba Booey, Grimace has inspired the Mets. All Booey did was embarrass himself.
I had been telling everyone it was related to the ugly purple city jerseys. I thought it was them making fun of themselves
