Sneaky raccoon seen helping itself to ballpark fare at Citi Field as bewildered Mets fans look on

It's been pretty rough sledding for the New York Mets and their fans for most of this season.

While their team has the highest total payroll in MLB this year, the Mets have subjected their loyal supporters to last-place baseball and a losing record on their home field.

While the play on the diamond has been particularly tough to watch, the lone constant that everyone can rely on is the ballpark food, which one furry fan found to be the case when the Mets took on the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.

A video captured by fan Scott Reynolds shows a stealthy raccoon grabbing leftover concession stand food from a hole in the bleachers at Citi Field.

It starts with broken peanut shells discarded by fans until a group notices the distinct paw reaching up through the opening.

Then the raccoon gets the gift of a lifetime when another fan hands him a full hot dog.

Reynolds said that he and his family were eating peanuts and dropping the shells in the stands when they noticed a paw appearing from a small hole in the concrete.

"We soon realized that it was a raccoon," Reynolds said. "We laughed and enjoyed the extra show."

"Extra show" might be underselling it a little bit, as most Mets fans would argue the 30-second clip of the ballpark scavenger is probably more entertaining than anything the team has put on the field so far this season.

Last year, I wrote about how scientists discovered that raccoons are becoming increasingly more domesticated, so it won't be long before our furry Mets fan can emerge from the shadowy underground and come to the ballpark legally.

We already have "Bark at the Park" nights all over Major League Baseball, what's the harm in adding a few raccoons to the mix?

The Mets would end up winning the game against the Padres 4-2, so perhaps sacrificing a few glizzies to the rally raccoon will catch on.

I can't think of anything more apropos for the city of New York than that.
