New York Mets: Gearing up with an iconic song?

The New York Mets almost had everything going perfectly for them for a long time this season. But the series against their arch-rivals Atlanta Braves turned their world upside down.

In the penultimate series of the regular season, the Braves pummelled the Mets to a clean sweep.
