“Just pain. It was pain everywhere.”
That was the mood for New York Mets fans at Citi Field on Tuesday night as Baltimore Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso — who spent the first seven seasons of his MLB career with the Mets before the franchise came close to offering him the five-year, $155 million contract that Baltimore did this past offseason — hit a game-winning walk. The homer marked Alonso’s 300th career hit, drew a standing ovation on the road, and the Orioles went on to win the game in 11 innings.
Alonso’s home run was a reminder to the Mets and their fan base of the threat he was to the franchise from the right side of the plate.
