“I Should Be The Mascot”– Hawk Tuah Girl Haliey Welch Takes Credit For Mets’ Surge To Playoff Contention After Her 1st Pitch

It's still early. She's already outlasted the 15 minutes of fame many expected for her. Who knows if any of this is sustainable. However, you can't help but be impressed with Hawk Tuah Girl Haliey Welch, simply for having a podcast that is doing numbers on par with Joe Rogan. https://twitter.com/HalieyWelchX/status/1838329512242950603 What does that say about our SOCIETY? I don't know. I really don't... What I do know is Haliey Welch continues to defy the odds and remain relevant. A seemingly innocuous first pitch for the New York Mets about a month and a half ago was met with widespread vitriol. Welch talked about the blowback from her Mets mound cameo — and underscored the fact that the team has actually gone on a tear since losing that day, soaring from a 62-59 record to 88-71 and right in the mix for a National League Wild Card berth. https://twitter.com/HalieyWelchX/status/1839369231596654680 It's almost like Welch is happy-accident stumbling into stuff like this, but hey, good work if you can get it. Turns out Welch had rather noble intentions for repping the Mets for that first pitch. That was more a means to an end for her animal advocacy work. Welch explains how she donated to the Mets-sponsored program for "vet dogs" as she puts it. Nothing wrong with putting out some good in the world by way of dogs in my book. Whatever your reservations are about her fame or how it came about, Welch is walking the walk when it comes to these charitable endeavors. https://twitter.com/HalieyWelchX/status/1839391261347676286 Some of these clips Welch is posting on her socials are hilarious and totally out of pocket. See: Some crazy conspiracy theory about her origins, and her apparently teaching her grandma about the infamous catch phrase. https://twitter.com/HalieyWelchX/status/1836761663225098348 https://twitter.com/HalieyWelchX/status/1836418993936306590 Yeah. Just in case you were curious as to what Welch has been up to when she ain't saving the pups. The only real baseball pun-intended error Welch might've made as it pertains to this particular piece of her ever-expanding story is her X/Twitter caption, "I'm ready for the postseason." Since her friend was the one who brought up the Mets' Hawk Tuah hot streak, maybe Welch didn't realize that the team hasn't qualified for the playoffs just yet. New York is fighting the Braves and Diamondbacks for one of the last two spots. Can the Mets and Welch keep their improbable runs going? We'll all find out together soon enough.
