From the rise of the New York Mets to the resurgence of the New York Yankees, the 2022 season has been a classic for baseball fans.

However, a recent game between the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals witnessed something beyond the game of baseball. Yes! The famous SI Swimsuit models paid a visit for the Cardinals vs Mets game for a special reason and took over the Citi Field with their glamorous presence.

SI Swimsuit Models brought luck to the New York Mets

Right from the start of the 2022 season, the New York Mets have been suffering from the injuries of their key players. And despite that, the Buck Showalter-led team has been playing top-level games against every opponent.

First, they lost their ace, Jacob deGrom.  And now, the Mets also lost their veteran pitcher Max Scherzer for a couple of months. However, to lighten the mood of the Mets players and fans, the SI Swimsuit models visited the ballpark and brought joy to everyone’s faces.

Notably, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit released the 2022 issue of their magazine on May 16. And to promote their magazine, all models paid their visit to the Citi Field.
