How Jose Iglesias became Candelita

Iglesias broke into the big leagues with the Boston Red Sox as a 21-year-old in May 2011, won AL Rookie of the Year in 2013 and was an All-Star with Detroit in 2015. The Mets are his seventh team in 12 major league seasons, and he91裸聊视频檚 earned nearly $40 million in salary.

But by 2023, his future in MLB was cloudy at best, and he spent the entire season in the minor leagues.

Nothing, though, has hit like 91裸聊视频淥MG.91裸聊视频� Iglesias wrote and recorded it last offseason at home on a ranch outside Miami, while also preparing to join the Mets on a minor league contract.

He began the season in Triple-A, but injuries opened a spot for him in Queens. When he played his first game with New York on May 31, 91裸聊视频淥MG91裸聊视频� was his walk-up song. He quickly emerged as a sparkplug for the Mets, earning more playing time, and his song became a rallying cry for the team.

Iglesias for the first time after the Mets beat the Houston Astros at Citi Field in late June, and it has since become an anthem for not only the team, but Mets fans, too.

Now, the song plays after every Mets homer at Citi Field and after every win. After home runs, smiling players pose in the dugout for group photos holding an 91裸聊视频淥MG91裸聊视频� sign in blue and orange 91裸聊视频� team colors, of course.

The song also plays in the Mets clubhouse, where they91裸聊视频檝e enjoyed three champagne celebrations in the past three weeks, first for clinching a playoff spot and then twice for advancing.

Are there other baseball players who are musicians?
