The Mets finished plowing through the Cubs on Wednesday night, and they’re heading to the World Series.
Experts say the unexpected juggernaut is being fueled by infallible pitching — and Daniel Murphy’s home runs. But let’s not underestimate the power of great hair on the mound.
After all, there’s no denying the Amazins’ pitchers Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard’s phenomenal flowing locks are as intimidating as a 97-mph fastball. Just look at how their tresses waft athletically as they throw.

Yes, the folks who brought you the Pizza Rat costume and always manage to turn pop-culture moments into hilarious, “sexy” get-ups are giving away free deGrom and Syndergaard wigs until Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday.
The blond and brunette shags look straight out of “Wayne’s World” — and a wee bit feminine — but just toss a fitted hat on top and add some paraphernalia in royal blue or orange to sport your fandom in style.
“In recognition of Mets mania and as a sign of our appreciation, we’re excited to give Mets fans another fun way to show their support for the team and these phenomenal young pitchers who have led the way,” says founder and CEO Chad Horstman.
Mets fans or people who love synthetic hair can go to the customized landing page yandy.com/1986 to claim their free Syndergaard or deGrom wig. (When you get to checkout, the total will drop down to zero, but shipping costs do range from $5.95 to $19.95, depending on how fast you want your mop.) Wear it on Halloween, the day of Game 4 — or simply replace your rally cap in time for the first World Series match-up on Tuesday.
Here, just enjoy some shots of deGrom and Syndergaard in all their unshorn glory.
