When Pete was a catcher as a kid, he was a great admirer of Mike Piazza, whose Mets home run records he is now jeopardizing. At 28, Alonso needs just one more 30-bomb season to tie Mike's franchise-high of four. "Polar Bear" already owns the team mark for longballs in a season (53 in 2019) and career HR% (just ahead of Dave Kingman and Piazza).
