Historic Moment for the Mets
In a thrilling Game 5 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS), Pete Alonso made history by smashing a record-setting home run that propelled the New York Mets to victory. This stunning display of power not only excited fans but also marked a significant milestone in the franchise’s playoff history.
The Significance of Alonso’s Home Run
This remarkable homer is more than just a game-winning hit; it showcases Alonso’s incredible talent and determination. As he stepped up to the plate, the tension was palpable, but the Mets’ first baseman remained cool under pressure. His ability to deliver in crucial moments has solidified his status as a key player for the team.
Pete Alonso's 432-foot homer was the longest by a Met in the postseason since Statcast began tracking, surpassing the 431-foot shot Travis d'Arnaud hit off the Home Run Apple in 2015. (The next day, Mets workers placed a bandage on the apple.)
