Mets Celebrate Playoff Clincher Over Phillies With Champagne And Beer Showers!
New York Mets NLCS, Here We Come! ... Celebrate Playoff Clincher At Citi Field
The New York Mets Amazin' season rolled on last night ... as the team punched their ticket to the NLCS in front of their home crowd Wednesday night -- and the squad celebrated the massive moment well after the final out!
After Francisco Lindor hit a go-ahead grand slam in the sixth inning ... closer Edwin Díaz came in and got the save, sending the Mets players and fans into a frenzy! Outfielder Brandon Nimmo even got emotional after knocking the Phillies out of the playoffs.
All the hard work. All the sacrifice.

After the on-field celebrations, the team moved into the clubhouse, where the celebratory beer and champagne were sitting on ice (unfortunately, no sign Grimace took part in the festivities).
"We believe. You need to continue to believe. LETS GOOOOOOO!"

It marked the first time the Mets ever clinched a playoff series at Citi Field -- which opened in 2009 -- and Pete Alonso guzzled down some champagne to celebrate the moment.
The fans also got in on the champagne showers ... as Starling Marte came out from the clubhouse to get the fans in on the fun, spraying them with bubbly!

While he couldn't be in Queens for the moment, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell hopped on a FaceTime call with his pops -- who currently serves as the team's DEI director -- and celebrated with some of the players!
The team will have the next few days off before traveling to either San Diego or Los Angeles for the next round of the MLB playoffs. But, until then -- sunglasses, water and Advil, everybody!
