New York Mets fans have found new energy in supporting their team as they make a playoff push in the National League this season. The atmosphere at Citi Field has been electric, with fans coming together in unity through various chants and signs. However, not everyone is on board with all the rallying cries.
Former Mets player and current SNY color commentator, Keith Hernandez, recently expressed his disapproval of the popular “LFGM” chant among fans. He specifically took issue with the addition of an expletive to the traditional “Let’s Go Mets!” chant. Hernandez made it clear that he does not support or condone the use of the explicit version of the chant.
Despite Hernandez’s criticism, the Mets continue to gain momentum on the field, winning 16 of their last 24 games and inching closer to a playoff spot. The team’s turnaround has been attributed to various factors, including the “Grimace Effect” and the “OMG” sign that have become symbols of support for the team.
While every team has its own unique chants and traditions, the Mets have certainly found theirs in recent years. From the resurgence inspired by Grimace’s first pitch to the viral success of the “OMG” sign, Mets fans have embraced these symbols of unity and support.
Although Hernandez may not be a fan of the “LFGM” chant, it is clear that Mets fans are passionate about their team and will continue to show their support in their own unique way. As the team pushes towards a playoff spot, the energy and enthusiasm from the fan base will undoubtedly play a significant role in fueling their success on the field.
