Having made their debut at Saturday Night Live in January, Geese has now achieved another career milestone in their hometown of New York City.

The "Cobra" outfit took the mound Sunday at Citi Field in Queens to throw out the ceremonial first pitch ahead of a New York Mets game.

Geese posted footage of the pitch to their Instagram Story, along with the caption, "Absolutely honored."

Unfortunately, Geese's presence did not keep the Mets from, ahem, Getting Killed. The team, which endured a 12-game losing streak earlier in April, lost both of their doubleheader games Sunday against the visiting Colorado Rockies.

Geese will return to Queens in October to headline Forest Hills Stadium as part of their fall Getting Killed Again tour, which begins in September. Presales begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
