The person underneath the Mr. Met concert went from singing ‘Oh-Ophelia’ to saying ‘Oh-Oh No’ on Friday night after clumsiness struck at an inopportune time.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Denver, Colorado-based folk band The Lumineers took to the stage at Citi Field in Queens, New York – home of the baseball’s New York Mets.<\/p>\n

With the Mets out of town to take on the Kansas City Royals, the popular indie band performed to a large crowd on a tour promoting their latest album, ‘Automatic’.<\/p>\n

Playing to that audience, the band decided to bring up the baseball team’s popular mascot Mr. Met as they played their song ‘Ophelia’ – which has over 1.5billion streams on Spotify.<\/p>\n

Lead vocalist Wesley Schultz attempted to throw a tambourine over a piano and across the stage to the anthropomorphic baseball, but Mr. Met pulled a ‘Luis Castillo’ and dropped it.<\/p>\n

But that wouldn’t be the end to the embarrassment. As Mr. Met crossed the stage – appearing to wear suspenders rather than his typical jersey – he didn’t see where he was going and fell right off.<\/p>\n

\n

New York Mets mascot Mr. Met suffered a pair of blunders at a Lumineers concert on Friday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

First, he wasn’t able to catch a tambourine thrown to him by singer Wesley Schultz<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Adding insult to injury, the anthropomorphic baseball fell off the stage (but was unharmed)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Credit to him, Mr. Met popped right back up and held the tambourine up as a sign that he wasn’t harmed. He was helped up on the stage and continued to dance.<\/p>\n

If there was any concern for Mr. Met, he took to X and let those worried know that he was okay.<\/p>\n

‘Don’t worry, I don’t oppheeliiia too bad. Thanks for having me, @thelumineers!,’ read a tweet from the official account.<\/p>\n

Fans couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of the entire situation, joking about it on social media.<\/p>\n

‘this is so f***ing funny i hope they’re okay but also mr. met going to the lumineers concert dressed like he’s a 2010s hipster at a rustic barn wedding is such a good bit,’ one fan said.<\/p>\n

Another post read, ‘You try catching a tambourine when the circumference of your head is infinitely larger than your body.’<\/p>\n

‘Two errors in one play sums up the Mets the last month,’ joked another post.<\/p>\n

While Mr. Met may be hurting, his team isn’t after the Mets came from behind to beat the Royals 8-3.<\/p>\n

Mark Vientos gets credit for a three-RBI double to take the lead, which was then boosted by a three-run home run by Francisco Lindor and a solo blast by Juan Soto to reach the final score.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
