The team's 'OMG' sign was inspired by shortstop Jose Iglesias' song 'OMG', and first made waves when Ridgefield, Queens native Jerome McCroy displayed the sign in Pittsburgh when the club was in town in June.
Thursday, October 10, 2024 9:33PMEvery time the Mets have hit a home run the last few weeks and in the postseason so far, they've posed with a sign -- a rallying cry that has taken on a cult-like status among the fanbase and team itself.
McCroy, an artist, wanted to celebrate Iglesias and the excitement that was building around the team. McCroy says the inspiration for the sign came from team co-owner Alex Cohen, who was sporting an "OMG" t-shirt in an Instagram post. He would later run into Cohen at a game, and told her he wanted to give a sign to the team.
McCroy then got to personally deliver the sign to Iglesias, and even got to chat with club owner Steve Cohen.
