New York Mets players throw wild postgame ‘OMG’ concert on the field

The New York Mets haven’t had many reasons to celebrate since the start of the 2023 season. A disastrous year, despite sky-high expectations and a record-high payroll, led to a disappointing offseason.

Through the month of May, it seemed like the Mets would be heading for much of the same, even in a mediocre National League.

But June’s been a different story; a 16-6 month has pushed the Mets to 40-39 and squarely in the middle of the postseason conversation. Turning your season around would be reason to celebrate enough, but after Friday night’s 7-2 win over the Houston Astros, the Mets had another excuse to throw a party: the release of shortstop Jose Iglesias’ new song “OMG.”

That’s not a misprint, the release of a new song from the team’s shortstop.

Iglesias, who also uses the name “Candelita” as a recording artist, put out his “OMG” song on Spotify earlier in the day on Friday. And gave a virtuoso performance of it after the game, with the rest of his Mets teammates backing him up. Seriously. Here’s the video.
