Pitcher Taijuan Walker has to give up his jersey number on his new team, the New York Mets, after signing a $23 million, three-year deal, because his Number 00 is worn by the team mascot, Mr. Met.

The mascot is a man with a large baseball for a head. Walker is going back to Number 99, which he’s worn before.
