Pete Alonso's Latest Social Media Message Will Supercharge Mets Fans

Life isn't the same without baseball, is it? Specifically for New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, this break from the game has brought about some solid reflection about the memories he helped to create on the field in 2019, his historic rookie season.

The Polar Bear keeps himself up at night by thinking about last season and what is yet to come for him during his time in New York. The 25-year-old tweeted out a message on Friday that encapsulates exactly what is running through his head, and it should have Mets fans more amped up than ever.

Alonso explains how nostalgic it is for him simply to watch highlights from last season. He clearly misses the game he's known his whole life and competing every day with his teammates. There's nothing Alonso longs for more than being able to play in front of his beloved Mets fans at Citi Field again.

Alonso is confident that when baseball returns, the Queens faithful will be louder and rowdier than ever before. New York baseball fans should be encouraged and energized by Alonso's message, which comes a little more than one year after his big league debut.

The end of Alonso's message is what's most important: "Let's all stay together and all stay safe." The more we practice social distancing and take care of ourselves, the sooner baseball, the MLB and Alonso are back to a ballpark near you.
