Pete Alonso, the New York Mets' first baseman, is on a remarkable pace, threatening to break Darryl Strawberry's long-standing record of 252 career home runs. During a dominant game against the Colorado Rockies, Alonso hit two home runs, allowing him to surpass David Wright and claim second place in Mets history. With 23 multi-home-run games, he has established a new franchise record. Alonso expressed gratitude for his achievements but emphasized his focus on team success as the season progresses, while David Wright congratulated him and encouraged him to aim for Strawberry's record.
It's really cool, Alonso said of passing Wright. For me, I just want to help the team win every single chance I get.
Huge congratulations, Wright said. You are one of the premier power hitters in the game. You easily passed me. Set Straw in your sights and now go get him.
