Ted, after all the time you devoted to the concept, to have the roster miraculously shake out the way it has, I am surprised to see that you haven’t gone back to the concept of the 7 Nation Army.
Plus, I am not sure if you noticed, but during Dan Warthen’s visit to the mound in the 4th inning the organist actually played 7 Nation army (I immediately thought of your post and remembered that Tejada actually did make the team), and still no mention?

That is an excellent point, and my bad. The Mets currently have players from seven sovereignties: the U.S., Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Japan, Canada, Mexico and Panama.
Until, presumably, Jose Reyes returns from the Disabled List and Ruben Tejada heads to the Minors, the Mets will battle as a 7 Nation Army. And if by some chance Cuban lefty Raul Valdes ends up with the big club, recently claimed Panamanian reliever Manny Acosta finds his way to Queens, or German-born Tobi Stoner winds up back with the Mets, they’ll again represent seven nations.
So here’s this. Sorry I didn’t bring it up sooner:

I figured they were playing Seven Nation Army on the organ as a tribute to our fallen comrade, Aaron Heilman.
It’s also worth remembering that in June the Mets will, in fact, be going to Baltimore.
“a seven nation army couldn’t hold me back”
I hate to say it, but that sounds about right. Not sure it’s a great rallying cry, unfortunately.
Agreed – in the end, it will be members of that Seven-Nation delegation holding them back (e.g. Oliver Perez).
I’m calling for Jack White to appear at a game. The whole band doesn’t have to come – Meg White can be replaced by Cowbell Man.
