Pete Alonso Given 300th MLB HR Ball By Mets Fans in Video After Trade for Signed Jerseys, More

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso exchanged some autographs for the 300th career home run ball he hit during Tuesday night's 7-5 road win over the New York Mets.

SNY posted a video of Alonso meeting up with Mets fans Mike, Nick and Chris to make the trade. Alonso gave them autographed baseballs and bats, while also signing their jerseys. SNY noted that he brought them some beers and offered them tickets to O's games in Baltimore as well:

Alonso, 31, spent his first seven seasons with the Mets, hitting a team-record 264 career home runs.

The Orioles signed Alonso to a five-year, $155 million contract in free agency this past offseason, and he has continued to rake in Baltimore, slashing .267/.362/.499 with 36 homers and an American League-leading 101 RBI.

Given the success he enjoyed with the Mets, Alonso was cheered at Citi Field when he reached the 300-homer milestone on Tuesday.

In fact, Alonso even received a curtain call, which is something usually reserved for home-team players.

Alonso discussed how much the warm reception meant to him, telling reporters , "I appreciate all the support for all the years I've been here, all the life I've lived here. Obviously, they're recognizing that and they appreciate that. It's a two-way street. Really appreciate it."

Adding to the importance of Alonso's 300th career home run on Tuesday night was the fact that it tied the game at 3-3 in the ninth inning.

Baltimore went on to win the game in 11 innings, improving its record to 74-78, while the disappointing Mets fell to 69-82.

The Orioles still have an uphill climb, but Alonso kept them in the playoff mix Tuesday, as they trail the Cleveland Guardians by three games for the final wild-card spot in the AL.
