Jose Iglesias, a former Mets player, returns to Citi Field and throws the ceremonial first pitch before a Tuesday game against the San Diego Padres. He is met with a warm welcome from the crowd, including a standing ovation.
During the pregame presentation, the Mets feature Iglesias on the stadium video board with a highlight segment set to his song “OMG.” After the ceremony, the Mets lose 5-2 to the Padres. Both outlets describe the event similarly, focusing on his homecoming, the reception from fans, and the in-stadium tribute connected to his music.
