Pete Alonso continues to etch his name into the New York Mets' record books, achieving another milestone on August 29, 2024. With a towering solo home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Alonso reached 221 career home runs, moving him into third place in Mets history. This impressive feat places him behind only Mets legends Darryl Strawberry and David Wright.

Alonso's power-hitting prowess has been a cornerstone of the Mets' offense since his breakout rookie season in 2019 when he set the MLB rookie record with 53 home runs. Over the years, he has consistently been one of the most feared sluggers in the league, with his ability to change the game with one swing of the bat.

In his post-game comments, Alonso expressed pride in the achievement and gratitude for the support he’s received throughout his career. “It’s an honor to be mentioned alongside guys like Strawberry and Wright, who are such important figures in Mets history. I’m just happy to contribute and help our team in any way I can,” Alonso said.

As Alonso continues to climb the ranks in the Mets' all-time home run list, the focus now shifts to how high he can go. With plenty of seasons left in his career, Alonso has a legitimate shot at becoming the Mets' all-time home run leader if he maintains his current pace.

Pete Alonso’s move into third place on the Mets' home run leaderboard is a testament to his consistent power and impact on the team. Mets fans can look forward to many more memorable moments as Alonso continues to solidify his legacy in Queens.
