From Newsday (via CSTB), emphasis added:
Unlike Wright, who polled fans through Internet voting to determine a song for his fourth at-bat, Reyes picked all four himself for Monday’s home opener at Shea Stadium. The first two are Reggaeton beats, including one of his own making, followed by a couple of hip-hop tunes, DJ Unk’s “Walk It Out” and Mims’ “This Is Why I’m Hot.”
one of his own making! seriously, can someone please tell me why ‘our team, our time’ ever had to exist?

“our team our time” is greatly underrated. not only is it embarrassingly catchy (i can still recall the tune a year later, now), but it SIMULTANEOUSLY introduces you to the players on the team and teaches you the rules of baseball (”pedro martinez will strike you out”).
the fact that it was put together by a veteran of the paradise garage, gives it a connection to NYC history, and, to top everything off, the awkward rapping makes you feel embarrassed to be a mets fan, which establishes a connection to the history of mets fans.
