In a tough season for the New York Mets thus far, they haven’t had much to celebrate. It’s mid-May, and after all of the offseason hype, New York is already 6.5 games out of first place behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East standings.
But a Wednesday win over the MLB-leading Tampa Bay Rays might have been a turning point. And Pete Alonso seems to know it based on his postgame reaction.

In a challenging year for New York, finding the bright spots might be tricky. Alonso getting it going like this and returning to his expletive-dropping roots should be a sight for sore eyes for Mets fans.
