NextImg:Mets hoping Brandon Nimmo gnome changes their fortunes

In gardens, gnomes are a symbol of good luck.

The Mets hope the same holds true in dugouts.

The Mets, who had lost four straight and scored one total run in their past two games, appeared to try to cure their offensive ills with a new, mythic addition to the club.

Luis Guillorme placed a large Brandon Nimmo gnome — which has been in front of Nimmo’s locker and wears his uniform and smile with a pointy cap — at the end of the Mets’ dugout shortly before Thursday’s series finale against the Nationals at Citi Field.

No one moved the gnome, who watched down upon the team from an elevated perch.

In past years, the Mets have been open to any sources of good-luck charms or items that bring levity around the team.

Memorably, they embraced the “Home Run Horse” in 2021, a stuffed pony that would be carried through the dugout after a Met drilled a home run.

Trying to avoid a sweep at the hands of the division-worst Nationals, the Mets hoped the gnome could bring some of the same good feelings.
