Strawberry was in attendance to witness Alonso’s record-breaking feat. The Mets’ right fielder, whose number 18 was retired during the 2024 season, originally set the franchise mark on May 3, 1988, when he hit his 155th career home run. At the time, Dave Kingman held the all-time franchise mark with 154 homers.

Pete Alonso hit a two-run home run against the Braves on Tuesday night, moving him past Darryl Strawberry and into first place on the Mets' all-time homer list.
