Found the new Citi Field mascot

To compliment the fact that Shea Stadium had a fairly large feral cat population, a stray dog was found Citi Field yesterday.

A stray dog led animal control officers on a rainy romp through the stadium Wednesday after construction workers said she spent several days sniffing around the Mets' new digs.

The nimble pooch was finally snagged near the Jackie Robinson Rotunda after running the bases and racing up and down the aisles. Her rescuers have dubbed her Jackie.

Oh, very clever.

I say the Mets should bring this dog back, complete with one of these, one of these and of course one of these. Mr. Met and family could use a new member of the family.

I smell a marketing gimmick!
