Actor, comedian and noted New York Mets fan Kevin James decided to recreate one of his most famous moments during Tuesday night's home game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Dusting off his energetic introduction to the 2007 Daytona 500, James brought the energy to kick off the Mets game with the same welcome for fans at Citi Field.

In the annals of great meme recreations, this has to be up there. Endless kudos go to James for being willing to have some fun here, as this is just beyond delightful.

Sure, it's not the Daytona 500, but James being willing to do this again in general is pretty awesome.
