Tom Hanks’ acting career has been filled with iconic moments, but few are more memorable than his desperate scream of “WILSONNNNN!” as his island companion floats away in the 2000 film "Cast Away."
So when Hanks showed up at Citi Field for Saturday night’s Subway Series game against the Yankees, Mr. Met had the perfect costume.
Appearing as Wilson -- a white volleyball with a human face painted in the palm of Hanks’ character’s bloody handprint -- the Mets' mascot greeted Hanks in the front row of the stands to recreate the moment.
The actor offered a fitting capper to the scene: reenacting his famous yell of “WILSONNNNN!” to the crowd in Queens.
