Jacob deGrom Warming Up to Simple Man

Jacob deGrom Warming Up to Simple Man

It was Jacob deGrom’s 200th career start and the first at Citi Field in over 13 months.

The fact that SNY aired this and didn’t go to commercials as he was warming up was amazing.

It’s good to see the television industry is finally figuring out that they need to promote the things (like showing pitchers entrance music ) that helps bonding the fans to the game beyond the game itself. Well done!

Never expected this to be a sort of farewell to deGrom at Citi Field

[greenspidey]

Gave me chills and what a performance, felt like a movie scene

[lig]

Heartbroken rn. Gonna miss degrom. Dude was fr the last piece of my childhood 2015 team. Been great growing up with him every 5th day. Best of luck in Arlington.

SNY did an incredible job broadcasting this game from airing Degroms full warmup with Simple man playing in the background to not going to commercials and watching Edwin Diaz's full entrance in the 9th with all the trumpets XD and sure enough it was by far the most watched SNY mets game in their history

I was there. Crowd was wild from the second this song came on until the last pitch. Best ball game I ever attended.

Such an awesome moment! It’s almost like Skynyrd wrote that song for deGrom

[Salvatore]

Im a Yankees fan to my core, I don’t like the Mets, but this was one of the best and coolest moments I have ever seen actually got me choked up

[tallpaul]

Thank you deGrom. Whether you wanted to stay or not, Ill always appreciate how great you were on the mound.

[gldship]

Even as a Braves fan this gave me chills and a few tears.

[LRobertoG]

Dude is literally a 99 overall MLB the show card in real life. He got me into watching baseball again.

[marjoriecohn]

Tonight we heard Jake is a Ranger now. This video makes me cry.

[dougrakes]

Even as a die hard Phillies fan, this is still really cool to watch.

[LloydBraun]

Amazing how such a simple moment and a simple song can give everyone chills

[RatBrain]

Can't wait to watch this in Texas

[Jason-fejo]

damn going tp miss this, looked forward to this moment
every week

[jessejames]

Wish it was like 30 seconds longer to catch GKR's reaction... shit was so cool

[purk]

Thank you Jake. Had to come back one last time to watch this. Good luck in Texas. Stay healthy.
