What Darryl Strawberry told The Post after Pete Alonso’s tied his HR record
NY Post
MILWAUKEE — After he returned to the Mets last winter, the only question was when Pete Alonso would move atop the franchise home run list.
On Saturday night, he grabbed a share of that spot.
Alonso launched a second-inning homer — No. 252 in his career — that tied him with Darryl Strawberry for first place in the franchise record book.
It went for naught in the Mets’ 7-4 loss to the Brewers at American Family Field.
All along, Strawberry has been pulling for Alonso to break his record. He shared his excitement over the tie in a text to The Post last night.
“Congratulations Pete,” Strawberry texted. “Let’s go (blue heart and orange heart emoji).”
