Swinging in the Rain: Pete Alonso

The Polar Bear has ice in his veins. Pete Alonso was the walk-off hero against the crosstown rival New York Yankees on September 3, 2020. Tied in the bottom of the 10th inning, Alonso took a pitch for a ride to deep left field for the game winner. His efforts sealed the 9-7 comeback victory in the pouring rain. “This is a valuable lesson,” Alonso said. “It doesn’t matter what happened, you just have to stay resilient and keep fighting, and give your best effort each AB, each inning, each pitch.”
