MILWAUKEE — Pete Alonso reminded us all again how fickle baseball can be, how one swing can change a season, a team, a legacy and maybe even the path of one’s whole career.
Alonso took his Mets team national when he smacked star Brewers closer Devin Williams’ 3-and-1 changeup over the right-field wall, making the Mets the belle of this October ball, and truly changing everything. Francisco Lindor’s home run off the Braves’ Pierce Johnson, which made all this possible,Now, three days later, Alonso topped even his longtime teammate Lindor, the all-everything, do-everything Met who’s their clear and obvious MVP.
Well, he crushed this one just enough, turning a 2-0 ninth-inning deficit into a 3-2 lead and creating an immediate pall in the sold-out stadium. Sadness pervaded the park of the small-market team that’s always a champion of the regular season but hardly ever gets it done in October. And now that he’s done what we all were waiting for, that’s all in the past tense. He was due, and he did it in style with his legacy swing that changed everything for the better.
