He also said he believes God made him a baseball player for a reason. "He’s put me fortunately on this stage -- in the greatest athletic stage in all the world for a reason. I think that reason is to be a light."

He also asked for some divine assistance in Game 5 of the National League Divisional Series when the Mets held a 3-2 lead over the Dodgers heading into the final three innings.

"There was a lot of prayer going on out there, just asking for peace and just talking to Jesus and asking for peace those last three or four innings," he told AP. As for why he has played so well in the postseason, he said: "I don't know. Sometimes the blessings come, Jesus is good..."

I did not know Jesus was a Mets fan, which would sorely disappoint Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who is a very vocal Christian. Maybe Jesus has a skybox at Citi Field.

i know... i know...

I'll take a wild guess that Jesus is a Yankees fan.

Dude's a frontrunner.

He sits with Cusack.

I'll take a wild guess that Jesus is a Yankees fan.
