Nants ingonyama bagithi baba!

New York Mets slugger Yoenis Cespesdes is once again doing his best to carry the team into the postseason. He sent Mets fans home happy on Monday night, cracking a walk-off home run in the tenth inning to lead his team to a 2-1 win over the Miami Marlins. More than that, he lived the story of the walk-up song he used for the fateful at-bat: "The Circle of Life" from the Disney film The Lion King.

Check out the GIF here, where you can clearly see, in the crowd of fans clutching for the home run ball, a certain dude dressed in a yellow lion outfit.

That's right: fan wears Simba costume, Cespedes uses Lion King music and hits game-winning dinger directly at Simba.

Cespedes finished the night three-for-five, including the game-ending bomb. Mets fans will hope he keeps up his hot hitting through despair and hope…

Through faith and love…

'Til they find their place…

On the path unwinding…

In the circle…

The circle of October.
