Giving Pete Alonso $155 million was something only Steve Cohen would approve, but the owner of the New York Mets seems a little more hands-off this winter. His passion before the Mets was collecting art, sometimes of the absurd variety.
As @AllMetsTweets hilariously pointed out (no pun intended), one of Cohen’s most iconic purchases called “Pointing Man” cost him $141.3 million. Adjusted for inflation from 10 years ago, it’s actually a lot more at $193.6 million. I wonder if someone else would pay that amount today.
