Pete Alonso Becomes Mets' All-Time Home Run King, Hits Two Homers Against Braves

New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso made franchise history on Tuesday, hitting his 253rd career home run to surpass Darryl Strawberry as the Mets' all-time leader, then added his 254th blast later in the game. The five-time All-Star's performance, which included two homers against the Braves, provided a significant moment for the team as he continues to extend his record. Alonso, an impending free agent who signed a two-year deal with an opt-out, has expressed his desire to remain with the Mets long-term, solidifying his status as a franchise icon.
