The Mets' “Larry Pimp” fluffs his fur and shines his platform shoes.
Max Wiener is preparing for the playoffs.
He's no Mr. Met, but don't let this upstate comedian get too big-headed.
Goshen, a 24-year-old from the Funkadelic thread, said he, along with MacDonald's Grimas, brought pixie dust and positivity to the home side as they headed on a magic carpet ride to the playoffs after a dismal start to the season. It is evaluated.
“I intend to be [at Citi Field] Tuesday and Wednesday,” Weiner declared. “What I'm trying to say is, I don't care about the heat. I'm going to wear my fur coat. It feels like the only right thing to do. I'm going to go through my closet now and figure out what to wear. We have to decide exactly what that is, but fur coats are coming back!”
Wiener will be happy to praise the Mets' comeback, including a pair of dramatic home runs this week that saved them from elimination. But he believes Grimas, the purple Happy Meal mascot who threw out the first pitch on June 12 and sparked the Amazons' ferocious finish, is the real hero. The team at that time had a disastrous record of 28 wins and 37 losses.
“I'm like Peter Gabriel in Genesis. Grimace is like Phil Collins. He took it to the next level,” Weiner explained.
Larry Pimp, a nickname the social media masses came up with after Weiner started showing up to Met games wearing a clown-like fur coat, sunglasses, a tracksuit, and a giant Mets gold chain, is what he called “Larry Pimp.” “He was wearing very bright pink pants.” The very loud Pink and Yellow Jackets' contributed to Thursday night's miraculous victory over the Brewers.
He sees a parade down the canyon of heroes and a Subway Series rematch with the Yankees in the Mets' future.
“I think it will happen. I think the Mets are the team of destiny,” he said. “I want the Yankees. The Subway Series will stop the Earth from rotating!”
