Long-Weekend Planner: Here Comes Mr. Met
The Mets mascot will be at the Nassau Coliseum Monday, when the Islanders hold Mascot Day.
He may be the most recognizable mascot in New York - and he's headed to Nassau County on Monday.
Mr. Met will join other mascots at the Nassau Coliseum, when the New York Islanders hold Mascot Day during their Presidents Day matinee against the Philadelphia Flyers.
The game starts at 1 p.m., while the meet and greet begins at about 11:30 a.m.
