Sole possession of the all-time New York Mets home run record will soon belong to Pete Alonso. He blasted one on the road against the Milwaukee Brewers, giving him 252 for his career in a tie with Darryl Strawberry. The Mets play their next 5 games at Citi Field and one in Williamsport next Sunday as part of the Little League Classic. Citi Field is the ideal place to see this happen. More importantly, it needs to happen in a Mets win.
Fans are already only halfway in the door with how much they care about the record.
