As I tell my children, always celebrate the good days as you don’t always get them. Congrats to Thunder Pete Alonso (that’s what Gary Cohen and I call him)!
Pete had an UNBELIEVABLE season in which he hit an OFF THE CHART number of home runs, in a season that years from now will stand out in the record books.
As Darryl Strawberry warned, people will now expect Thunder Pete to hit 50 home runs per season forever, and hopefully he will.
Congrats to Pete, and also congrats to Wags and the fine leadership of the 2019 Mets who didn’t cheap out and actually let Pete play the full season in the majors.
Also congrats to Mickey Callaway, who got hosed, and deserves a lot of credit for successfully shepherding Pete’s rookie season.
Congrats Mr. Polar Bear, I’m sure someone somewhere has a t-shirt with your name on it ready to be sold.
