HUGE news flash!

I spent the whole season in search of this: Carlos Beltran’s at-bat song.

No? You spent an entire season not wondering about this? He used the same song, every single time, period.

No, seriously. This was a big deal. We could make out a few words, but we are white kids from Connecticut and Long Island, respectively. Even the sisters who sat next to us got in on it. We would watch people sitting near us to see if anyone was singing along; if they were, we would have leapt on them and begged them to tell us what the song was called. Alas, we never found anyone who seemed to be familiar with the song.

To my delight, a few days ago metsgrrl.com reader Phil B. wrote in to say: Having searched the whole season for it, I understand your pain. However; here’s the info you’ve been hunting for: El Esta Aqui by David y Abraham.

A little research indicates that David y Abraham are Christian artists from Puerto Rico.

Mystery solved!

i guess now the challenge is actually finding the song for free. 

how are you doing with the withdrawals?  its terrible isn’t it.  no matter how many years go by, good seasons, bad seasons, i never get used to this part. 

in fact, the only thing that gets me through this time of year are reading mets blogs.

METS GRRL! Rob and I were searching for the same mystery! We would sing it like “Per esta qui, per esta qui. Per esta qui? Blah blah blah blah blah.” Thanks for the info!! Now to search for lyrics and translation :)

well, I’m a big fan of artists getting paid for their work, so
I’m happy to buy it if I want it. I have too many musician friends who scrape and scrimp to get by so it’s a little bit of a sensitive subject to me :)

i can’t think much about baseball yet. but i am re-starting “five seasons” over again, with a goal to read everything angell has written on baseball by opening day 07.

I can’t seem to find the lyrics. By “El Esta aqui” I guess it means that “God is here”
Beltran is a really spiritual guy. I learned from some people who know people that he’s really into Christian music and such.
He even said on his Hispanic Heritage Interviews thing they had that it’s the kind of music he has in his Ipod and such.
