Mets’ Jose Iglesias performs ‘OMG’ live at Rye Playland
Mets infielder José Iglesias took his summer hit “OMG” to Rye Playland Park on Monday, belting out the tune during a special meet and greet with fans.
Iglesias had the crowd on its feet and dancing along to the catchy tune, with the singer/ballplayer encouraging the crowd to sing along with him at one point in videos posted to the amusement park’s Instagram story and shared by SNY’s social media channels.
Other posts on the Playland Park social media account showed Iglesias posing with fans one after the other, sporting a striped t-shirt and tan pants.
Several photos showed him holding an “OMG” sign, which looked similar to the one seen in the dugout celebrations for the Mets.
The performance and meet and greet was part of an event put together in partnership with radio group Audacy New York, which for the time being includes WCBS-FM 101.9 and WCBS News radio the radio home of the Mets.
WCBS-FM 101.1 host Race Taylor and 94.7 The Block host Ted Smooth hosted the event.
It was announced on Monday that WCBS News Radio would be coming to an end and ESPN New York would moving over to the 880 frequency.
Iglesias debuted his hit single earlier this summer when it was released on streaming platforms in late June and he performed it live at Citi Field after the Mets defeated the Astros, 7-2.
The infielder wrote “OMG and started using it as his walkup song since he was called up from Triple-A Syracuse on May 31, according to the Associated Press.
It quickly became an anthem for the Mets and the song debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Digital Song Sales survey last month.
Iglesias’ song joins a long list of anthems that have become the soundtrack for a Mets season, which has included in the past “Who Let The Dogs Out?” by the Baha Men and the most recent hit “Narco” by Timmy Trumpet.
