NY Mets Infielder Jose Iglesias Has Himself A Bonafide Hit Song After His Wild Postgame Performance

Watching New York Mets infielder Jose Iglesias perform a song on the field after the team's Friday night win over the Houston Astros was kind of a wild sight, but he's getting the last laugh because that song of his is climbing the charts.

Things have been good in Queens as of late. The Mets have been going on a strong, Grimace-fueled run, and on Friday those good vibes led to a performance of Candelito's — AKA Jose Iglesias' — tune OMG.

That's a strange sight indeed to see a player still in uniform performing a song of his that was released earlier in the day.

But I don't think Iglesias will give a rip what it looked like because the performance went viral, and when the performance of a song goes viral, the song usually does too.

And that's exactly what happened.

According to Bleacher Report, "OMG" hit the No. 1 spot on Itunes' Latin charts.

Think about that. The song was barely out for 24 hours and hit No. 1 because it was performed after a game. That's wild.

But here's the problem: I think we're going to see an onslaught of athletes who offer to perform their mumble raps or have their Soundcloud mixtapes blasted through the stadium PA in hopes of snagging the same kind of heat that Iglesias and "OMG" did.

This is the exception to the rule. I'm sure there are plenty more talented musicians in the sports world, but Iglesias seems to have caught lightning in a bottle with this tune of his (which may or may not be good; I legitimately do not know).

The MLB is a copycat league like any other, so I think we're about to see an avalanche of crappy music being performed not just on baseball diamonds but across sports over the next couple of months, so buckle up.

And maybe invest in some decent earbuds.
