The New York Mets have been through a whirlwind of events in the first half of the 2024 MLB season. From a sluggish start to controversy and newfound good fortune, it has been quite the journey for the team. One of the latest additions to the Mets world is infielder José Iglesias, also known as Candelita, who put on a postgame concert after the team’s victory over the Houston Astros.
After a thrilling win in front of over 32,000 fans at Citi Field, Iglesias, who signed a minor league contract with the Mets in December, took to the field and performed his hit song “OMG” while still in uniform. His teammates and even Mr. and Mrs. Met joined him to show their support, making it an unforgettable moment for the team.
Iglesias explained that being part of the Mets’ success and sharing his music with fans and teammates has been a dream come true for him. Since his call-up from Triple-A Syracuse, the Mets have been on fire, going 17-6 and getting closer to securing a wild card spot in the NL. The release of “OMG” was even brought forward due to the positive energy surrounding the team.
For Iglesias, this season has been one full of joy and unity among the teammates. He expressed his gratitude and humility, noting that it was a moment he will always treasure. The camaraderie between players and their winning streak have brought new life to what was once a struggling franchise, making this season one for history books for the New York Mets.
