Last year, McDonald\u2019s went all out for Grimace with a themed birthday meal and purple Grimace shake, the latter of which was sold from June 12 through July 9 at McDonald\u2019s locations nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C8IgadTucDB\/?hl=en&#038;img_index=1<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it wouldn\u2019t be entirely surprising to hear McDonald\u2019s had scaled back on Grimace festivities this year in favor of focusing on another piece of McDonaldland IP, they didn\u2019t forget about Grimace. As it turns out, Grimace celebrated his birthday at a New York Mets game where he threw the first pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grimace Throws His First Pitch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/snytv\/p\/C8MmHzttxVH\/?img_index=1<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically, Grimace isn\u2019t the first McDonaldland mascot to throw the first pitch at a baseball game. <a href=\"https:\/\/qctimes.com\/image_60bd2584-cb96-586b-90f5-ebc886ba2cea.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ronald McDonald<\/a> previously held these honors in 2012 during a baseball game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But! The first pitch he threw during the Mets game against the Miami Marlins was indeed a <em>Grimace<\/em> first. The mascot came dressed to play in a baseball cap and catcher\u2019s glove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His pitch wasn\u2019t spectacular. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/story\/_\/id\/40369873\/new-york-mets-grimace-mcdonalds-winning-streak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN<\/a> described it as being wide of the home plate and arcing into the ground. The crowds, however, didn\u2019t care. They went wild for Grimace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Mets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Mets<\/a> complete the sweep and are now 5-0 since Grimace threw out the 1st pitch on Wednesday. \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oThhYYFwQ1\">pic.twitter.com\/oThhYYFwQ1<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MLB (@MLB) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MLB\/status\/1802446596811919855?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 16, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then something truly unusual happened. The MLB tweeted on June 16 that since Grimace threw his first pitch, the Mets were 5-0. Just a few days prior, the Mets were 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C8V3GnrOHym\/?hl=en<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A streak started and all because of Grimace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/popicon.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/grimace_new_york_mets_2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question now is how many other McDonaldland mascots should start booking in guest appearances at upcoming Mets games. Should Ronald make a comeback? How about the Hamburgular? (That particular character, it seems, would probably be better suited as a catcher what with his nimble ability to grab tons of cheeseburgers all at once.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/popicon.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/twins_mascots.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or should we start extending this invitation to other brand mascots? I can\u2019t be the only person who remembers the brief, but powerful roles the Pillsbury Doughboy, Green Giant, and Sprout played in a truly iconic one-sheeter wishing the Minnesota Twins good luck during their 1983 season, can I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heather Taylor is the senior writer and editor-in-chief of PopIcon, Advertising Week\u2019s blog about brand mascots.
