Mrs. Met becomes the first female mascot inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame, joining Mr. Met who was inducted in 2007, marking a historic milestone for the Mets’ identity.

After a period away, Mrs. Met reemerged in 2013 and has since remained a central figure in the Mets’ brand and community presence.

Debuting at Shea Stadium on Opening Day in 1975, Mrs. Met has built a long, enduring tenure as the Mets’ mascot.

The 2026 Mascot Hall of Fame class includes Cocky, Cosmo, Goldy, Miles, and Mrs. Met, with fan voting spanning 109 countries across six continents.

The induction news was announced on Good Morning America on a Friday, bringing wide national exposure.

Mascot Hall of Fame activity has shifted from a physical museum to online and event-driven announcements, with ceremonies often broadcast nationally.

The Mets’ induction moment is framed as a bright spot amid ongoing team drama and fan engagement during a challenging year.

Mets fan initiatives extend beyond Citi Field, including Mets House NYC in Union Square, opened in March 2025, linking individual honors to broader fan outreach.

The piece notes the Mets’ recent on-field success, including a sweep of the Guardians, and points to upcoming games against the Pirates as opportunities to build momentum.

The Mascot Hall of Fame exists to honor mascots for contributions to teams, communities, and the mascot profession, recognizing figures in sports and entertainment.

While noting past controversial moments for Mr. Met, the Hall of Fame emphasizes contributions rather than endorsing all actions.

Mrs. Met celebrated the announcement on Instagram, thanking her more than 32,000 followers for support.
