The Mets are enjoying a $1 hot dog night promotion.
Earlier this season, the team honored World War II veteran Seymour Weiner as the Veteran of the Game, and his name caught the attention of Mets fans on social media.
It seems like the Mets got the joke, too.
The team posted a post on X about a $1 hot dog night that used Winner as part of the image promoting the night.
“Seymour Weiner would like you to come to Dollar Dog Night,” Mets wrote in an image to X, accompanied by a Photoshopped image of Weiner holding a hot dog.
Below the information about what day Dollar Dog Night is, there is a line that reads, “Message approved by Seymour Weiner.”
The $1 hot dog promotion is limited to four hot dogs per person and is only valid on Nathan’s Original Hot Dogs, according to information provided by the Mets.
The event will take place next Tuesday when the Mets play the Cubs.
Naturally, fans took to social media to weigh in on the Mets’ decision to lean into jokes to promote their $1 hot dogs.
“When the Mets do the right thing, they do the right thing! I just love Seymour Weiner.” Posted by 1 user on X.
“The Mets should bring Seymour Weiner back to Dollar Dogs night. He’s an absolute legend now.” Another person posted.

Wiener was awarded During the Mets’ home opener at Citi Field on March 29th.
