It was quite a wild day at Citi Field with the New York Mets returning to their home after Javy Baez and others gave thumbs down to their own fans.
Die-hards made themselves heard in response, while Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar referenced the gesture to Francisco Lindor.
But then Baez scored the winning run by hustling around third on an error, and all was (temporarily) forgiven.
That moment included an all-time great call by an all-time great play-by-play man in Gary Cohen. The SNY legend captured the thrilling series of events and capped it off with “TURN THOSE THUMBS AROUND.”
What’s even better is cameras captured his call, as he leaped out of his seat excitedly:
"TURN THOSE THUMBS AROUND!!!!! JAVY BÁEZ RACES HOME WITH THE WINNING RUN AND THE METS WIN IT, 6-5!"
Wow. Just wow. 🎙
