All of the groups approved by Major League Baseball to bid on a stake in the Mets that have been publicly idenfitied have deep pockets and business acumen.

But only one – the group of bidders that includes “Entourage” executive producer Doug Ellin – has star power.

If the group can reach a deal with the Wilpon family to buy a minority share in the beleaguered ballclub, sources told the Daily News, Ellin will enlist actors Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon and Ed Burns to bring their star power to Citi Field.

“I’m a giant sports fan and to be involved in a professional sports franchise would be a dream come true,” said Connolly, who plays Eric (E) Murphy on “Entourage.” “Growing up on Long Island, I was a giant Mets fan, so that makes it even more of a dream come true.”
