Mets Make Historic Pete Alonso Announcement During Rockies Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

When he re-signed with the New York Mets last winter, Pete Alonso saw an opportunity to become the team's career leader in home runs and multihomer games. He checked one record off his list Sunday with a pair of two-run shots in a 13-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies — and the burly first baseman is closing in on the other.

Pete Alonso hit his 242nd and 243rd career home runs Sunday, moving past David Wright for second on the Mets’ all-time list.
