Pete Alonso Ties Mets All-Time Home Run Record

Pete Alonso has tied Darryl Strawberry's New York Mets franchise home run record with his 252nd career homer, achieved in fewer games than Strawberry. Alonso's milestone came during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers, and Strawberry congratulated him with a supportive message. Alonso currently holds a two-year, $54 million contract with the Mets, which includes a player opt-out option that could see him test free agency after the season. Beyond home runs, Alonso is also climbing the franchise RBI leaderboard, currently third behind David Wright and Strawberry. His recent performances, including a multi-homer game and a strong season overall, underscore his status as one of the Mets' greatest hitters. The Mets and their fans now face the challenge of retaining Alonso amid contract uncertainties while celebrating his historic achievement.
