Jose Reyes and his wife thrilled to now be US citizens

Jose Reyes was the happiest player in the Mets’ clubhouse Wednesday after the 4-2 win over the Phillies at Citi Field.

Earlier in the day, Reyes and wife Katherine were sworn in as American citizens at the U.S. District Court in Central Islip.

“I passed the test before I went to spring training and I became a citizen today,’’ a beaming Reyes, 34, told The Post in a quiet corner of the clubhouse. “It means a lot. I love this country. I had the opportunity to spend a little time with the judge [Wednesday]. To see all those people there becoming citizens, there were like 200 people sitting there, it was really something special.
