In an exciting moment on Saturday, the rising Mets player Pete Alonso made history by hitting his 53rd home run, surpassing the previous rookie record set by Aaron Judge in 2017.
This remarkable feat occurred during one of the last games of Alonso’s debut season in the major leagues. The audience erupted into a standing ovation to celebrate his record-breaking achievement. To add to the excitement, the Mets clinched a 3-0 victory against the Atlanta Braves that same night.
The notable game unfolded at Citi Field in Queens. Alonso shared his thoughts by saying, “It felt surreal, like I had an overwhelming sense of support while at bat.”
