Fenway Park has the Ted Williams seat, and now Citi Field has introduced the Grimace seat.

The well-known McDonald’s character made another appearance at the ballpark on Monday when the New York Mets revealed a special purple seat in section 302 to honor “his special connection to Mets fans.”

Grimace, dressed in his purple outfit and wearing a baseball glove backward, threw a humorous first pitch — managing as best he could with his furry fingers and short arms — before the New York Mets defeated the Miami Marlins at Citi Field on June 12.

This win started a seven-game winning streak, and Grimace quickly became a good-luck charm for the Mets, gaining popularity online.

Since June 12, the Mets have the best record in the majors with 53 wins and 31 losses.

They were tied with rival Atlanta for the last National League playoff spot as they started their final homestand of the season on Monday night against Washington.

The new Grimace seat, located in the second deck in right field — specifically in row 6, seat 12 to mark the date 6/12 on the calendar — was brought into the Shannon Forde press conference room on Monday afternoon. Grimace posed next to the seat and with fans who came into the room.

The seat is available for purchase for each of the Mets’ remaining home games.

Mets senior vice president of partnerships Brenden Mallette said in a news release, “It’s been great to see how our fanbase created the Grimace phenomenon following his first pitch in June and in the months since.

As we explored how to capture the magic of this moment further and celebrate our new celebrity fan, installing a commemorative seat ahead of fan appreciation weekend felt like the perfect way to give something back to the fans in a fun and unique way.”
