Baseball season is roaring in its first full month in action and while my Mets are ABSOLUTE FUCKING DOGSHIT lately, that doesn’t mean we can’t recognize when metal shit happens in the MLB. Case and point was the fact that we reported on Padres closer Mason Miller’s sick entrance routine set to Korn’s 1994 classic “Blind”.
Well, it seems the band took note of that as well, as they recently sent a nice merch care package to the pitcher’s locker at Petco Park in San Diego. In a video posted to the team’s socials, you can see that Miller got quite the haul of t-shirts, shoes, a hoodie, and a whole mess of other stuff courtesy of the band.
Included in the care package was a handwritten letter from Korn’s manager Mark Wakefield, in which he says the band was stoked to see Miller use the song for his entrance music. They also offered to have him come out to a show sometime, which is a nice gesture.
You can check out the moment Miller receives the care package in the Twitter post below. I’ve also posted his entrance so you can see how kick ass that is.
It must be nice to see Miller come out and close a game to bring the Padres a win. I wouldn’t know that, as a fan of the bums out in Queens, but I remember when they had Edwin Diaz. Sigh, those were the days…
