Edwin Diaz and Timmy Trumpet

If you didn't get goosebumps watching Timmy Trumpet play Edwin Diaz onto the field in person, then maybe sports just aren't your thing. It was a party every time he was summoned from the bullpen for the 101-win New York Mets. Sports and entertainment crossed over to give the fans one of the most fun entrances in the game.

Edwin Diaz and Timmy Trumpet made a simple walk from the bullpen to the mound more than a stroll to work. Suddenly, people care about the music that plays when a relief pitcher enters the game. While fans are used to hearing players step to the plate with a particular song playing, Narcos took it to a whole new level. The live performance during Diaz’s entrance in August against the Los Angeles Dodgers upped the ante. It likely wasn’t a one-time thing. This is something we should see more of from the Mets, Diaz, and other players around the league.

You didn’t have to be in attendance at Citi Field to feel chills even in the middle of summer. Edwin Diaz wasn’t just a closer with a brilliant entrance. The playing of Narcos only added to the lore he brought with him to the mound. He was a literal one-man cavalry, complete with horns and a cannon attached to his right arm. As the last line of defense in the bullpen, there couldn’t have been a better song to represent what he meant to the game. Diaz became more than the best closer in baseball this year. Thanks to the musical support of Timmy Trumpet, he became a terror for the other team.
