David Cook Meets The Mets

David Cook hits a few balls before the Mets played the San Diego Padres at Shea Stadium in New York on Thursday.

Cook, 25, was joined by fellow American Idol finalist, Carly Smithson, and third-baseman David Wright.

The American Idol winner also had the honor of throwing out the first pitch.

“I am a Kansas City sports fan, but I’m a baseball fan, more than anything,” Cook said. “To be able to come to Shea, with all the history and the fact there’s going to be a new stadium next season, is really cool.”
