New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz has one of the best entrance songs for a relief pitcher in baseball history.
Citi Field feels electric when Diaz comes into the game for the Mets and “Narco” is blaring on the stadium speakers. Fans leap to their feet as Diaz begins his trot to the pitcher’s mound. The mascots, Mr. and Mrs. Met, start “playing” plastic trumpets. It’s a sight to behold.
Timmy Trumpet, the songwriter behind the track that has since gained a cult following, attended his first baseball game on Tuesday. He was prepared for a live performance of “Narco” if Diaz came in to pitch.
Even though Diaz was not brought in for a save opportunity, the Australian-born musician still put on a show for fans with a fun twist on “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch.

While fans would have loved to have seen “Narco” performed live while Diaz made his way into the game, this was about as good a consolation prize as you will find.
After the game, however, Timmy Trumpet tweeted that he would return to Citi Field on Wednesday for the second game of the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
