New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso became the club’s all-time home-run leader on Tuesday night, launching his 253rd career shot during a game at Citi Field. The drive moved the 30-year-old ahead of Darryl Strawberry, who held the franchise mark of 252 homers since 1990. Alonso reached the milestone in his seventh major-league season. The three-time All-Star and 2019 National League Rookie of the Year already owned the Mets’ single-season record with 53 homers, set in his debut campaign. His latest feat further cements his status as the centerpiece of New York’s lineup as the club attempts to return to postseason contention.
