FLUSHING, N.Y., April 4, 2012 – The New York Mets today announced American Idol Heejun Han will sing God Bless America tomorrow at Opening Day at Citi Field. The 22-year-old from Flushing finished in the Top 10 in the 11th season of television’s No. 1 rated show, AMERICAN IDOL on FOX.

In addition, the Mets have assembled representatives from each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces to sing the National Anthem, marking the first time all-female singers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard have sung together at a major U.S. sporting event. Army Master Sergeant MaryKay Messenger, Navy Lieutenant JG Yvonne Zirrith, Marine Staff Sergeant Terri Kopetzki, Air Force Staff Sergeant Samantha Johnson and Coast Guard Petty Officer First Class Kristine Rommel will perform the National Anthem on the field.
Mets and Niese Sign Deal
According to Adam Rubin, “Future Hall of Famer “(as Shannon refers to him) Jon Niese have inked a new deal. I think this is a good gamble to lock Niese up here. He looks like he is becoming a better pitcher each season. Relatively cheap for a pitcher and Niese is only 25.
New York Mets left-hander Jon Niese has agreed to a five-year, $25 million deal with two team options that can raise the value to $52 million, according to two sources.
The completion of the contract is pending a physical. Niese would have been under the team’s control for another four seasons before the deal.
