Everyone knows what happened next: Alonso drove a 3-1 changeup over the right field fence for a three-run homer, and the Mets went on to win 4-2. They eliminated the Brewers, then the Philadelphia Phillies, en route to their first NLCS appearance since 2015.

Darryl Strawberry is still the Mets’ franchise home run leader. How much longer that will remain the case is uncertain, with Pete Alonso on the cusp of breaking the record that Strawberry set over eight seasons (1983-1990) in Queens, but the Mets great isn’t bemoaning his impending displacement from a franchise record.
