New York Mets 1B Pete Alonso’s new best friend is Rockies OF Charlie Blackmon (Video)

OK, what can’t Pete Alonso do? Not only did he win the National League Rookie of the Year and lead all of baseball in home runs, but he’s also one hell of a fisherman.

The New York Mets slugger posted a video to Instagram of he and Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon catching a striped marlin—no, not the Miami kind of Marlin.

The video doesn’t show the marlin in question, but Alonso’s Instagram shows the sizable fish.
