WATCH: After Mets fans boo Javy Baez, El Mago makes incredible game-winning slide at home

---

Turn those thumbs up instead of down, Mets fans.

After a ton of backlash from home fans and management over Javy Baez's thumbs-down gesture, he put on a show today to quiet the haters.

In classic, El Mago style, Javy Baez scored the game-winning run scoring on a single from left field in an epic slide for the victory.

This was all part of a wacky five-run bottom of the ninth inning.

Hopefully, this will quash some of the booing that Mets fans have been doing of late towards Baez and others.

Check out the booing and game-winning play below:
