Darryl Strawberry congratulates Pete Alonso on passing his Mets HR record
Pete Alonso stands alone in the record books. The slugger crushed his 253rd career home run in the bottom of the third on Tuesday night, officially passing Darryl Strawberry for the Mets franchise record. Alonso tied Strawberry's mark this weekend in Milwaukee, and he didn't waste any time jumping in front of him back in the home ballpark. Strawberry took a minute to congratulate the big man in a video shared on the team's social media pages. 'I just want to say congratulations on breaking the home run record,' he said. 'You have worked hard, you have stood up in the pressure of New York City, and you have played well -- it is well deserved, you are a homegrown player. 'Again, congratulations and continue to have great success.'
