Mascot “Mr. Met” teamed up on a coloring project with patient Danny Carrillo.
On the day of the New York Mets’ first home game of the 2015 World Series, current and former Major League Baseball players, officials, and Mets mascots visited Kravis Children’s Hospital at Mount Sinai and its interactive play area, The Child Life Zone, for an afternoon of fun-filled activities.
Pediatric patients from the Blau Center for Children’s Cancer and Blood Disease, and The Tisch Cancer Institute at the Mount Sinai Health System, made their own stuffed bears and worked on baseball-related arts-and-crafts projects.
The visitors—who also led a Mets trivia call-in program on Mount Sinai’s KidZone TV, The Zone’s in-house television station, included: Robert D. Manfred, Jr., Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner; Tom Glavine, Baseball Hall of Famer and former New York Mets pitcher; Jesse Orosco, former New York Mets relief pitcher; Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star center fielder; Vera Clemente, MLB Goodwill Ambassador; and leadership from the nonprofit fundraising organization Stand Up to Cancer.
