“The Mets have also taken to playing “Piano Man” this season in the 8th inning, so it only makes sense for them to call in Joel for Game 3″, it added.

With the first-ever World Series game being played at Citi Field on Friday, the Mets are bringing out a few big guns of their own, in regards to the national anthem. He performed in 2000 during the famous cross-city battle between the Mets and Yankees.

Joel, a Long Island native, sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Game 2 of the 1986 World Series between the Mets and the Boston Red Sox.

“The governor should be the fan-in-chief for any New York team up for a championship”, said Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause. The Royals have already announced that Royals legend George Brett would be throwing out the first pitch of Game 1 in Kansas City. “They’re very confident. They come to play, they show up the next day, they wipe the slate clean and they do their work”.

The Mets don’t even have to be playing in the same stadium as Joel for him to put the Star Spangled hex on them.
