NEW YORK — No joke: Bill Maher has bought a minority ownership stake in the Mets.

In a surprise announcement made by the comedian and political commentator before Sunday night’s game against the Cardinals, Maher said that he purchased one of the reported 12 minority stakes available to investors over the winter.

“First of all, I think it’s a great investment,” Maher said. “People sometimes forget that there’s only one National League franchise in New York City and they’re not making anymore. I’m a Met fan my whole life and I think it would be a great place.”

Neither Maher nor Mets officials would comment on the percentage of his ownership piece or how much he paid for it.
