When Mets phenom Pete Alonso was a boy, he dreamed of becoming an astronaut or a baseball player.
He never traveled to space, but the young slugger’s moonshot home runs are out of this world — leaving fans and teammates star-struck.
And he has his mom to thank for his success.
“Mom, I love you so much, and I’m so happy you helped me … to follow my dreams! Happy Mother’s Day,” he said in a message to her that he shared with The Post.
