Pete Alonso Hilariously Trolls Aaron Judge After Breaking His Rookie HR Record
What a 24 hours it's been for Mets slugger Pete Alonso. In case you missed it on Saturday night, the young stud smashed his 53rd homer of the year, breaking Aaron Judge's rookie HR record.
Yup, the future is bright in Flushing and Alonso will be front and center moving forward for the club. If you thought breaking the record was the only victory for Alonso over Judge, wait until you see what he had to say shortly after going yard:
The saga continues. ?️

Pete Alonso, jokingly, on having dinner with Aaron Judge: "I'll take him to McDonald's and he can take me to Peter Luger's."
Yup, that's trolling at it's finest. Obviously, though, this is all in good fun and Alonso has nothing but respect for the Yankees superstar. There's been back-and-forth banter between the two about getting dinner together. Well, if Alonso is picking up the bill, Judge can enjoy some McChickens and a Big Mac.
If Judge is putting his cash down, though, Alonso will enjoy some steak, potatoes and a top-shelf drink. Cash only at Peter Luger.
The most homers EVER by a rookie.

Congrats to Alonso on a memorable season. Time to celebrate with some steak, courtesy of Judge of course.
