It looks quite a bit like the "Oof-Wah" Cub that was made popular around 1908 or so.

Absolutely charmless (good knishes, though). And the 'Meet the Mets' song was fun, but otherwise it was forgettable. It was the first place I know of that had a sliding scale for ticket prices. Giant, Dodger and (I think) Cardinal games cost more than the same seats for the Phils, etc. Pretty widespread policy now. <br /><br />I saw a lot of the Mets in those days. I saw Bob Moose no-hit them in September of '69. I think they lost only one game at home after that all year. After all the crap I got from bandwagon Met fans following the Series I regretted rooting for them to beat out the Cubs. ;-(Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-44447558561322445112009-06-03T10:56:07.846-04:002009-06-03T10:56:07.846-04:00Bob - Thanks for the stadium ID!
