Mets ‘Rally Pimp’ says Amazins’ ride will end with World Series victory over Yankees

· New York Post

The Mets “Rally Pimp” is fluffing the furs and polishing the platform shoes.

Max Wiener is getting ready for the playoffs.

He’s no Mr. Met, but please excuse the upstate comedian if he’s getting a big head.

The 24-year-old Goshen native in the funkadelic threads is credited — along with McDonald’s Grimace — with bringing pixie dust and positive vibes to the home team, who are on a magic carpet ride to the playoffs after a wretched start to the season.

“I am going to be [at Citi Field] on Tuesday and Wednesday,” Wiener declared. “What I will say is that I do not care how warm it is. I will be wearing a fur coat. I feel like that’s the only thing that’s right. I have to start looking in the closet now and see exactly what I’m going to wear, but the fur coat will be making a return!”

Wiener will gladly take some credit for the Mets turnaround — which included two dramatic home runs this week that saved them from elimination. But he thinks Grimace, the purple Happy Meal mascot who threw out the first pitch on June 12, jumpstarting the Amazins’ furious finish, is the real hero. The team was a putrid 28-37 at the time.

“I’m like Peter Gabriel in Genesis. Grimace is like Phil Collins. He took it to the next level,” Wiener explained.

The Rally Pimp — a moniker the social-media public came up with after Wiener started showing up at Met game in clownish fur coat, sunglasses, track suit and massive Mets gold chain — said he wore “a very bright pair of pink pants, a very loud pink and yellow jacket” for Thursday night’s miracle victory over the Brewers.

He sees a parade down the Canyon of Heroes in the Mets future — and a Subway Series rematch with the Yankees.

“I think it’s going to happen. I think the Mets are the team of destiny,” he said. “I want the Yankees. A Subway Series would stop the Earth’s rotation!”
