The New York Mets were treated to their first streaker at their new home stadium.
Craig Coakley burst on to the Mets’ Citi Field turf sporting a stuffed animal thong and a painted back (“Lets Go Mets”).
The Mets streaker reminds us all that tearing out onto the field of any sporting event stripped naked (of clothes and of dignity) is no easy feat.
To be a talented sports streaker it requires courage, determination, and possibly a tremendous amount of booze or peer pressure.
The above photos of streakers encompass many years of hilarity and humility. ENJOY!
