The verdict is in—no trumpet for you!
At least that’s the opinion of one famous Mets fan. As the team has seen their once-enormous lead in the National League East evaporate thanks to the hard-charging Braves, longtime (and long-suffering) supporter Jerry Seinfeld is not happy. And the star and co-creator of the iconic ’90s sitcom has zeroed in on one culprit to take the blame for the team’s sinking fortunes: Timmy Trumpet.
The whole thing has unfolded like a modern episode of Seinfeld come to life. The viral sensation and musician behind All-Star closer Edwin Diaz’s entrance music was on-hand at Citi Field last week for a live rendition of the song, much to the delight of the home crowd. Don’t count Seinfeld among those who was amused, though, as he’s taken to social media to vent about what he deemed a “stupid” performance.
