Default 2 limpers, push from BB with a pair of 4\'s?

Down to 6 handed, I'm BB. No SB this hand. Relevant players:

UTG t2100 (chip leader) calls 200
MP t965 calls
BB (hero) t820 after posting BB 4c4s

I pushed. I felt like UTG chip leader (who got all his chips with aces early on) wouldn't want to risk his lead with a marginal hand and that if MP called with two overs, that would be okay. Is this too aggressive or standard play?

Anyone else close their eyes, hope for the best and push here?

MP will definately call you unless he is a complete idiot(which he might be because he called the BB with less than 4xBB left.) I think that the chip leader will probably fold, but expect to be called by MP.

6 handed, and your thinkin about checking this? Push all day-- if u get trapped, u get trapped. Fire up another SNG and do it again.

No, I wasn't thinking about checking, I just wanted to make sure that my instincts are correct here. I push this 100% of the time. The funny thing is that MP called with QT and caught a 10. Got down to 55 chips with the blinds at 200 and came back for 2nd place. Probably my best (and luckiest)comeback ever.

I just wanted the good players on this forum to sanity check my thinking on the hand.

There is $600 in the pot for the taking. You are shortstacked and getting desperate. True, MP will probably call but you are probably loooking at a coin flip. Risking your final $620 to win $1840 on a coin flip seems like a good move here. And if they all fold thats even better.
