Billy Joel Singing “Piano Man” With Mets Fans At The World Series Is Everything
The singer performed the national anthem before the New York Mets went on to beat the Kansas City Royals in Game 3 of the series. But he broke into song again when the crowd started singing everyone's favorite bar tune.
New York Mets fans established a new tradition this year of belting out the song “Piano Man” during the middle of the 8th inning at home games.
So when Billy Joel, the original crooner of the classic, appeared at Game 3 of the World Series between the Mets and the Kansas City Royals Friday night, it was only right that the crowd give him an extra special serenade.
To their sheer enjoyment, Joel joined them midway through. Here he is, with comedian Kevin James, rising to acknowledge the crowd and accompany them in song.
Friday night’s victory 9-3 victory of the Royals was the team’s first in the World Series. Joel, a Long Island native who opened the game with the national anthem, last sang for the Mets during the 1986 World Series.
Is Billy Joel the good luck charm the Mets need to even out the series against the Royals, who currently lead 2-1? Only time will tell. In the meantime, sing us a song and watch the video here:
