The Mets welcomed Johan Santana to Shea Stadium yesterday with a video that featured Alec Baldwin, Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld gushing about the greatness of New York.Very shortly, it will be Santana’s turn to show this city, his new home, why the two-time Cy Young winner is the missing piece to a championship team.
Only 24 hours after the Giants’ triumphant parade up the Canyon of Heroes, here was Santana, who many believe will make the same thing happen for the Mets, putting on his No. 57 in blue and orange.
“I’m looking forward to us celebrating that way, too,” said Santana, who watched the confetti storm on TV at his hotel. “Hopefully, that time will be soon and we’ll be able to bring that to the city and have fun with them.”
Here is the video of the ceremony.

The Mets will win the World Series with Santana and Martinez.
Not if the opposing team recruits Hulk Hogan and Vladimir Kramnik!
Hulkmania and Toilet Power will takeover the World Series.
The Mets are a very good team, but
need to learn to play well in the
clutch. They would be my pick, but
they were also my pick in both 2006
and 2007. The last thing any team
wants to be is a so-called paper
champion and then not back it up
on the field.
