The New York Mets’ mascot race took a violent turn Thursday night — not only did the Bronx Giraffe get smacked in the face with a chair in the sprint … it was also on the receiving end of a beatdown at the hands of legendary wrestlers Matt and Jeff Hardy!!! The chaos happened during a break in the action at the Mets’ home contest against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field … when the team hosted its five-borough mascot competition. Just as the Bronx was set to get its first win of the season, it ate a chair right in the kisser — allowing Brooklyn to run away with the victory. Clearly in a mood, the giraffe stormed through the tunnel … but unfortunately for the camelopard, it bumped right into the Hardys — who were ready for some action.
