# Stripped Sports Fans Mets Streaker Reminds Us of This Fine Athletic Art By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-05-13 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mets-streaker References: [nydailynews](http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/queens/2009/05/12/2009-05-12_mets_get_their_first_citi_field_streaker.html) & [jockandballs](http://www.jockandballs.com/2009/02/25-most-awesome-sports-streakers.html) The [New York Mets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/father-figure) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tommy-johns-tournament-collection) and a painted back (“Lets Go Mets”). The Mets streaker reminds us all that tearing out onto the field of any [sporting event](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glamnetic-x-fanatics-collection) 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.
