Harrison Bader warmly acknowledges Mets fans

The San Francisco Giants continue to shape their club identity this season, and recently acquired an outside player Harrison Bader offered a revealing moment that connected past and present. As he settles with the Giants, the veteran reflected on the relationships that still resonate in Major League Baseball.

Bader, now patrolling the field for San Francisco, appeared Tuesday on the Foul Territory TV network. During the conversation, the Giants outfielder admitted candidly about the relationship he still maintains New York Mets fans years after leaving the organization.

That connection goes back to the Mets’ viral “OMG” chant that defined much of the 2024 season. The chant originated from a song released by Jose Iglesias and quickly became a rallying cry during the team’s midseason turnaround. The fans embraced it, the players stepped it up, and the energy helped propel New York into postseason contention.

In Foul Territory, the show highlighted Bader discussing his ongoing interactions with Mets fans and unexpected moments still following him around the league. The network later shared the exchange on X (formerly known as Twitter), capturing the lighthearted tone of the confession.

In the video, Bader explained why such moments are important beyond the nostalgia on the surface. He explained how the energy and connection inside the clubhouse often translates directly to performance on the field.

“Energy is everything, chemistry is everything.”

The veteran outfielder later reinforced that belief by linking chemistry directly to winning in baseball. He credits shared responsibility, trust and collective belief as the foundation of successful teams, regardless of team composition.

“Team chemistry, locker room chemistry, clubhouse chemistry is extremely important, and a lot of times that translates into wins.”

For the Giants, those comments are an understatement why Bader fits into their evolving culture. His experience navigating momentum, belief and fan engagement brings value beyond statistics. While the Mets’ “OMG” chant belongs in a previous chapter, his influence clearly remains a part of the 31-year-old’s MLB journey.
