Who would want to break up Mr. and Mrs. Met?
The Kansas City Royals mascot welcomed the New York Mets mascot to Twitter on Monday in bizarre fashion -- by hitting on his wife.
Mr. Met has been the Mets mascot since 1962, while his other half, Mrs. Met, was reintroduced in 2013 after a brief stint with the team in 1975. It seems her biggest fan, though, might be Sluggerrr, the Royals mascot.
Hey @MrMet welcome to Twitter! BTW, can you ask Mrs. Met why she won't call me back? pic.twitter.com/MnKEbagKLQ

Oh, the drama. Much to Sluggerrr's chagrin, Mr. Met was quick to reassure fans that a mascot breakup was not in their future.
@Sluggerrr she purrr-furs a real man! pic.twitter.com/grZYNk06mJ
