Lil Bit Special Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 http://www.nypost.com/seven/06072008/news/regionalnews/fan_meathead__vs__met_head_114388.htm Cops called out a rowdy baseball buff who tried to take on Mr. Met. At a recent game, the drunken fan manhandled the Amazin's smiling, giant-baseball-headed mascot, police said. He also allegedly knocked down kids and took a swing at a security guard. The action happened at last Saturday's thriller, which ended with a 3-2 Met come-from-behind win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Christian Hansen of Gowanus, Brooklyn, was seen "harassing Mr. Met and pushing little children out of the way" at Shea Stadium, a law-enforcement source said. When security officials told the soused sports nut to leave, he refused. Then, as security guards escorted out the Mr. Met-basher, Hansen took a wild swing at an employee and spit in his face, law-enforcement sources said. Cops arrested Hansen, 32, and charged him with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and harassment. He was arraigned Sunday and released without bail. A woman who identified herself as Hansen's girlfriend denied he had been in a confrontation with guards or Mr. Met. "It's not true," she said. "Nothing ever happened with Mr. Met." Hansen, who could not be reached, is due back in court on July 22. Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz declined comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Met deserves an arse kicking, just like Pat Patriot. Mascots suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
