After seeing their NL East lead dwindle for much of June and July, the Mets are back in the driver’s seat. And the addition of Daniel Vogelbach to boost the DH slot is a big reason for that.
But Vogelbach’s value seems to extend beyond the box score. He knows how to lighten up the clubhouse — just check out what he chose for his walk-up song on Wednesday.
With the Mets all selecting walk-up songs performed by women for Citi Field’s Women’s Day, Vogelbach opted to change his song to “Milkshake” by Kelis. And let me tell ya, MLB fans thought the choice was absolutely epic (and hilarious).

So good.
Here’s what the rest of his teammates chose (special shoutout to Jeff McNeil):

Through two innings, Vogelbach already had a hit and an RBI, so he might need to keep the song for now on.
Update: Unfortunately, that walk-up song won’t be staying.
Daniel Vogelbach's inspired choice of "Milkshake" as a walkup song (for Women's Day at Citi Field) was at the, let's say, encouragement of other Mets.
"All the boys wanted me to do it," he said. "The boys want, the boys get. I did it for them."
It was a one-day thing, he said.

I love this guy and was sorry to see him leave the Pirates. He's like the Phil Kessel of baseball. Nice guy, tries hard, loves the game. And probably hot dogs. https://t.co/UPXYU8Ky4m

He’s quickly becoming a Mets legend.
