High note: Mets closer Díaz trumpets saves in sound of Citi

FILE - New York Mets mascots Mr. and Mrs. Met pose for pictures with the team's equipment before it is sent to spring training, at Citi Field in New York, Monday, Feb. 4, 2019. New York's Edwin Díaz has become baseball's most dominant closer this year and turned into the toast of the town with the Mets. Part of Díaz’s newfound popularity in Queens is his catchy entrance song “Narco” by Blasterjaxx & Timmy Trumpet. The tune sets off a two-minute fiesta all around Citi Field, with dancing mascots Mr. and Mrs. Met pretending to play trumpets as Díaz warms up on the mound.
