All the reasons to make Pete Alonso the lifetime Met fans crave
NY Post
Let’s start with something we can probably all agree on, OK?
Pete Alonso is not Tom Seaver.
If Seaver had hurt his right arm in spring training of 1977 and been forced to retire after 10 seasons, he almost surely would have taken the Sandy Koufax route to the Hall of Fame: He’d have been 182-107, with a 2.47 ERA and 2,334 strikeouts in that abbreviated version of his career. He’d still have all three Cy Youngs. He’d still be the key ingredient of the ’69 Mets.
Pete Alonso has been a superb Met his first seven seasons. Maybe in his next seven seasons he’ll add another 236 homers to the 264 he already has, make it to 500. No “clean” player who’s gotten to 500 in a career has ever been denied entry.
