Mets finally release 'Harlem Shake' video two months too late

In keeping up with the long tradition of the New York Mets' making news for all the wrong reasons — trading Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan then signing Bobby Bonilla come to mind— comes another moment to cringe at  — the release of the team's "Citi Field Shake" video.

On Sunday, the Mets posted their own version of the "Harlem Shake" video.  It kicks off with the team's popular public relations guru Jay Horwitz in the Mets locker room being joined what looks like every character in a costume shop at the music's jump.  Too bad the tiresome Shake craze sailed into Flushing Bay about two months after the rest of the world got sick of it.

Well, it is Opening Day. Go Mets.

D-backs become first MLB team to do the Harlem Shake

A couple of days ago the Saint Leo University baseball team's video of themselves doing the Harlem Shake was a video sensation and became a viral phenomenon. Now the Arizona Diamondbacks have brought their own video meme to the major leagues for the first time.

If you look closely at the D-Backs' Harlem Shake, you'll see someone in Lucha Libre mask kicking off the video then, after the drop, he's joined by Gumby, giant Racing Legends heads, mascot D. Baxter the Bobcat surfing on a golf cart and manager Kirk Gibson re-enacting his 1988 World Series trot on skates.

This looks like a fad that is sure to get as tiresome as all of those "Call Me Maybe" videos last year.

So enjoy the first MLB Harlem Shake.  Look for many more in the future.
