It was just 15 days ago as of posting this that Grimace from McDonald’s threw out a first pitch at a New York Mets game.
Since then, the team has been on a tear, and the memes that the whole thing sparked are so good.
Now, it’s getting wild. We’ve got fans dressing in Grimace costumes at games, and during a pretty fierce storm at Citi Field on Wednesday, someone in one of those costumes chugged a beer as fans cheered the purple creature on.
Also, the Empire State Building went purple for Grimace’s birthday … but the social media account for the building tagged the Mets after they beat the Yankees. So it’s definitely to celebrate the Grimace and Mets connection:
