Francisco Lindor, a veteran infielder for the Mets, revealed that fans may not know about co-mascot Mrs. Met. During a rare media appearance on Barstool Sports' "Pardon My Take," he suggested that if he played on the team, he would sometimes get distracted by Mrs. Matches. Lindor defended his initial comment, stating that he and co-host Eric Sollenberger had different tastes in women. The first female mascot in Major League Baseball was introduced in 1965 and later married in the 1970s.
