On the first spring morning of '63, with the dew still dampening Coogan's Bluff, Casey Stengel, the old skipper of the young Mets, saw a figure in the distance. Deep in the Polo Grounds' center field stood a fan like no other -- a fan clearly born to root for the New York Mets. Casey became so taken with the big guy, he invited him to join the Amazin's the very next year at their new park, Shea Stadium. Mr. Met was home. His baseball head began to swell with the win in '69 -- and grew even larger still in '73 and '86 and again during the Subway Series in '00. Today he joins Mets fans, both young and old, to cheer his favorite team, at every game, at the big blue ballpark in Flushing.
