I'm in heaven2@Mets @WWE @RealLAKnight Mets and LA Knight.... I'm in heavenLA Knight has grown into one of the most prominent figures in the WWE. The 40-year-old joined the industry in 2021 and has already made a big name for himself.Interestingly, Knight was the WWE's top merchandise seller for the month of July. The Mets will now be hoping that his lucky charm will turn their fortunes around for the remainder of the 2023 season.Can the New York Mets make the playoffs in 2023?New York Mets slugger Pete AlonsoThe New York Mets are currently fourth in the NL East with a 50-60 record. They are 21 games behind divisional leaders Atlanta Braves and 9.5 wins behind the Philadelphia Phillies, who are second in contention for a wild card entry into the postseason.While the Mets are not mathematically out of the playoff race yet, Buck Showalter's side needs a miracle to qualify for the postseason. The New York outfit will need the likes of Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor to step up in the final stretch of the 2023 MLB regular season.
