An adorable young Mets fan demonstrated two tried-and-true rules of attending a baseball game:

1. Ice cream eaten out of a mini-baseball helmet tastes better than all other ice cream.
2. Getting food on your shirt at a ball game does not count.

These are indisputable facts that will one day be verified by yet-to-be released metrics. Stay tuned.

On the same afternoon the Mets announced José Quintana will get the ball as the club aims to improve MLB’s best Opening Day winning percentage, this young tyke had his focus on the delicious dessert.

He even introduces an impressive approach to eating the ice cream: no spoon! Just straight mouth to ice cream to enjoy it in the quickest way possible. Respect.

Also, special shout-out to his tactic of eating the ice scream straight off his shirt. We wouldn’t waste a drop, either.
