Pete Alonso’s unreal ninth-inning home run off mostly unhittable Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams was the most improbable thing. A home run from a slumping first baseman in a win-or-go-home game in the ninth, one to the opposite field off a pitcher who almost never gives them up? WHAT?

In what could have been his very last at-bat as a member of the New York Mets, Pete Alonso instead said, “not so fast.”
