Mets Fans Go Gaga for Wright
20 June 2010
The Mets may have their most recent mascot, of sorts, and it could be Lady Gaga. The stir made by Lady Gaga’s appearance at Citi Field complete with her middle-finger salute to photographers isn’t dying down, in part as the Mets aren’t permitting it to.
The Mets are using Lady Gaga’s visit as a promoting tool to push their star player. On Wed., the Mets will be hosting a Mets Fans Go Gaga for Wright promotion in which the first twenty thousand spectators will get a blue froth finger inspiring fans to use the right finger to click online and vote for David Wright as the nation’s League’s beginning 3rd baseman in the All-Star Game on July thirteen in Anaheim, Calif. (Possibly, the froth fingers may not be making a vulgar gesture.) Lady Gaga wore a skimpy outfit to a Mets game earlier in the month and showed her disenchantment with photographers who attempted to snap her picture. The pictures have been widely circulated on the internet. A confessed Yankee fan, Lady Gaga was also spotted at Yankee Stadium on Fri. at the opening game of this weekend’s Subway Series. Though her appearance in the Bronx made much less buzz, she allegedly had an opportunity to meet with Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano.
As for Wright, he’s tied for 1st in the N.L. With 53 runs batted in, and he’s batting .283 with twelve home runs. No word on what Lady Gaga thinks of the promotion or whether she recommends Wright for the All-Star Game.
