New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey recently filmed New Yorkers answering questions about Matt Harvey … unaware they were talking to Matt Harvey.

In a skit for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Harvey conducted man-on-the-street interviews, asking people for their thoughts on the second-year pro.

Then again, it’s the Mets. Who even knows what their record is*?

The highlight has to be the guy blissfully ignorant of who he’s talking to … while actually wearing a Matt Harvey jersey and saying Harvey is his favorite player.

* – 41-50, 11 games out of first place. No one can blame Harvey, though. The 24-year-old is 7-2 with a 2.35 ERA and just made his first All-Star team.
