Last season, Tito and the Gun Show earned near celebrity status with their infamous Mark Teixeira video, even appearing at Turner Field to perform their hit live at a Braves game at the end of last summer. Original video shown below.
Well, a few Mets fans, perhaps still coming to terms with their team's monumental September collapse, have produced a rebuttal in the aftermath of New York's acquisition of left-hander Johan Santana this offseason. Just came across this video recently--it is fairly entertaining.
One can only wonder: If Teixeira signs with the New York Yankees, perhaps the only realistic suitor for the Boras client when he hits free agency this offseason, will a pair of Yankees fans create a similar video tribute?
