What happened: The Mets will hand out an exclusive team-themed Marvel Spider-Man t-shirt to the first 15,000 fans on July 31. The club framed the promotion around Spider-Man's Queens origins, leaning on the shared borough between the friendly-neighborhood hero and the ballclub. Fans are directed to the team's ticketing page to secure a seat for the giveaway.
Why it matters: Themed giveaway nights are a staple of the Mets' summer calendar, pairing pop-culture crossovers with attendance pushes on weeknight dates. It follows the same promotional playbook as the Juan Soto bobblehead handout the Mets ran in June, keeping the turnstiles moving during a season sitting below .500.
What to watch: Watch for the giveaway to land as a limited allotment, so early arrival matters for the July 31 date. Ticket availability and any additional theme-night details from the club are the next things to track.
