Pete Alonso Shatters Mets Legacy, Surpassing Darryl Strawberry in Stunning Home Run Record!
Ever witnessed a moment in sports that just stops you in your tracks? Well, Tuesday night was one of those evenings for Mets fans. Pete Alonso stepped up and cranked a two-run homer off the Braves’ hard-throwing Spencer Strider, pushing the Mets ahead 5-1 early in the third inning. But that wasn’t just any homer — it was his 253rd, a figure that finally pushes him past the legendary Darryl Strawberry to claim the Mets’ all-time home run throne.
Strawberry’s name has long been etched in the franchise’s storied history with 252 blasts during his Mets years, though his career tally soared to 335 across several powerhouse teams. Now, Alonso—only 30 and locked in with a fresh two-year, $54 million deal—looks set to keep shattering records and owning that home run crown for years to come.
The New York Mets have a new home run king.
Pete Alonso hit a two-run blast off of Atlanta Braves starter Spencer Strider on Tuesday to extend New York’s lead to 5-1 in the bottom of the third inning.
The home run was the 253rd of his career, moving him past a tie with franchise great Darryl Strawberry for the most in Mets history.

Strawberry went on to tally 335 home runs in a career that also spanned stints with the Dodgers, Giants and Yankees. But his 252 with the Mets previously stood as the franchise record.
Alonso, 30, re-signed with the Mets on a two-year, $54 million contract in the offseason and will presumably have plenty of opportunities to add to his now franchise-record home run tally.
