While most of baseball rested and recharged over the All-Star break, Mr. Met came back for the second-half opener with a couple of bumps and bruises.

The Mets mascot had the second-most viral concert moment this past week when he took a spill at the Lumineers concert at Citi Field.

Mr. Met hilariously played into his epic fail by showing up in Flushing on Friday night with some bandages, a sling and a crutch.

At the concert last week, Mr. Met strolled toward the middle of the stage before misstepping and walking directly off the stage in a total wipeout.

He hit the ground hard and his giant baseball head vanished for a moment before popping back up to assure the crowd that he was alright and soak in some support from the fans.

“Don’t worry, I don’t oppheeliiia too bad,” Mr. Met posted to his official account on X in reference to the band’s “Ophelia” song. “Thanks for having me, @thelumineers !”

He got some support from Mrs. Met, too.

“Love my man, on and off the stage,” Mrs. Met posted to X.

Also part of his epic fail at the concert, Mr. Met failed to catch a tambourine thrown to him by Lumineers lead singer Wesley Schultz.

The mascot redeemed himself Friday night by making a tambourine catch through his “injuries.”

Mr. Met broke through his arm sling and tossed his crutch aside while he and the stadium jammed out to “Ophelia.”

The mascot could’ve gone down the route of the alleged Coldplay affair, but Mr. Met has owned it.
