Mets legendary first baseman Keith Hernandez revealed his displeasure with one rallying cry fans have used over recent years, saying 'LFGM' is 'grotesque.'
New York Mets fans have a lot to cheer about recently after what looked to be a lost season earlier on in 2024. The Mets are in the playoff hunt in the National League, and fans have been packing out Citi Field and rallying around each other, whether it is because of Grimace or the recent 'OMG' signs and chants that have been seen and heard around Queens.
Hernandez, whose number 17 is retired by the franchise, may not like the chant used, but fellow first baseman Pete Alonso was one that helped popularize it in recent years. Alonso used to sign off from interviews with reporters by quickly saying 'LFGM' before walking away. No matter which chants one prefers, the Mets are a team gunning for a playoff spot just before the All-Star break. They are 44-45 after winning 16 of their last 24 contests, sitting just 2.
