New York's funny-looking mascot flashed his "middle" finger at a fan during Wednesday night's 7-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, and the team says the employee who did it won't work in the costume again. A person tweeted video of the incident, which soon went viral online, and the club quickly issued a statement. "We apologize for the inappropriate action of this employee," the Mets said in an email attributed to the organization. A Mets official told The Associated Press more than one person wears the Mr. Met costume during each season, and the person who wore it Wednesday night will not work in the costume again. The Mets official spoke on condition of anonymity because the statement from the organization was the team's only authorized comment.
