... that "Ode to the Mets" is not actually an ode to the Mets? Source: Sports Illustrated — "But you won't hear frontman Julian Casablancas crooning about the team’s bullpen woes or Wilpon mismanagement—in fact, he doesn’t mention baseball at all."

Comment: Image is only for ALT2-4 hooks if ALT0 or ALT1 don't make the cut. I can also try to find a better image if requested.

The article was nominated the day it was created. It's long enough, neutral and sourced. No copyright issues found. ALT4 exceeds 200 characters, but the others are short enough, catchy and interesting, variations on the same theme with different levels of detail, and cited in the article. The image is free, used in the article and works perfectly for the hooks that mention Casablancas. With ALT4 crossed out, this is good to go. Ffranc (talk) 11:25, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
