Kevin James threw the first pitch for the Mets against the Orioles at Citi Field on Thursday. He recreated a famous moment from his past, commanding everyone to play ball just like he did at a NASCAR race in 2007.
Wearing his own Mets jersey, James shouted into the microphone with great enthusiasm: “God bless America, God bless our troops, God bless the New York Mets, AND GENTLEMEN, LET’S! PLAY! BALL!!!!”
Kevin James’ Nostalgic Moment:
Back in 2007, Kevin James gave a similar command as grand marshal for the Pepsi 400 at Daytona. This time around, he brought that same energy to Citi Field. Fans might remember how epic that NASCAR race was .
Kevin James actually did the thing before the Mets game tonight 💀

Seventeen years ago, Jamie McMurray won that NASCAR race by beating Kyle Busch by just 0.005 seconds—a thrilling finish indeed! Sadly for Mets fans, Tuesday’s game wasn’t as exciting or close. The Orioles easily defeated them 9-5. A sloppy ninth inning with two errors sealed their fate.
Fans probably feel nostalgic yet disappointed after seeing James’ reenactment but watching their team lose.
What do you think about Kevin James’ performance and the game’s outcome?
