Jose Iglesias, the New York Mets infielder, showcased his musical talents by performing his song “OMG” after a 7-2 victory over the Houston Astros at Citi Field. The post-game celebration was marked by Iglesias singing at shortstop, surrounded by teammates and fans, all reveling in the moment. His song has quickly become a team anthem, played after each Mets home run and win, reflecting the team’s improved performance since his arrival.
A lifelong music lover, Iglesias wrote “OMG” to maximize enjoyment and introduced it as his walk-up song when he joined the Mets from Triple-A Syracuse. The song’s immediate popularity among both teammates and fans has contributed to a remarkable team performance, with the Mets boasting a 17-6 record since Iglesias joined. The song’s release on streaming platforms further underscores its rising fame.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and players celebrated the song’s success, hoping it would bring continued luck. Unlike previous musical performances that coincided with team setbacks, Iglesias’s upbeat anthem has so far aligned with the Mets’ winning streak and elevated team spirit, showcasing a unique synergy between sports and music.
