\n\tJoined by bandmates Cameron Winter, Max Bassin, and Emily Green \u2014 all of them in custom Mets jerseys with their last names and the numbers 4 or 20 \u2014 DiGesu made an accurate throw that suggests he could have a decent career ahead of him at the high-A level if being the bassist in one of the best and coolest rock bands in years doesn\u2019t pan out.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe had a surprise visit from Mr. Met at our most recent New York show and he made it clear that he was a fan, and that if we wanted to work together in the future on something that [the team] was down to do something,\u201d DiGesu told WNYC<\/a> this week. \u201cI immediately was like, \u2018Oh, my God!\u2019 It\u2019s always been an idea of mine to have Geese throw out the first pitch. I\u2019ve wanted to do that my whole life, ever since I was a kid.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tLike the rest of his bandmates in the Brooklyn-based band, DiGesu is a big Mets fan, often wearing the team\u2019s blue-and-orange attire in photo shoots (including one for Rolling Stone<\/a> last year) and onstage. In a 2025 interview with Interview Magazine<\/a>, the members of Geese attended a Mets game, and DiGesu let his fandom fly.<\/p>\n \n\tIf the Mets could win a World Series for the first time since 1986, he said, \u201cIt would mean a lot to me. I\u2019ve never been alive to witness such a phenomenon,\u201d he said. When asked if he would rather see that baseball outcome or great reviews for Geese\u2019s then-new album Getting Killed, DiGesu answered, \u201cThe Mets winning easily.\u00a0Pitchfork\u00a0could give Geese 1\u2019s for the rest of our career if the Mets win the World Series this year.\u201d (Alas, Getting Killed received excellent reviews, and the Mets missed the playoffs.)<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tA young DiGesu shows his fandom.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCourtesy of Dominic DiGesu<\/p>\n \n\tWith Sunday\u2019s first pitch, DiGesu joined fellow Mets-loving musicians like the Strokes\u2019 Julian Casablancas<\/a> and John Mayer<\/a> in tossing the ceremonial pitch.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-rollingstone-2022\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
