Pete Alonso Hits 300th Home Run at Citi Field

On Tuesday night, Baltimore Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso achieved a personal milestone by hitting his 300th career home run at Citi Field during a game against the New York Mets, which ended in a 7-5 victory for the Orioles after 11 innings.

Alonso's historic homer came in the ninth inning, tying the game at three runs. He hit a powerful shot that reached the second deck in left field, thrilling the crowd of 28,097 fans. This milestone made him the 20th player in major league history to hit his 300th home run against his former team.

Alonso is now among a select group of players who have hit 300 home runs within their first eight seasons in the league. While he celebrated his achievement, he emphasized the importance of teamwork, highlighting a three-run inside-the-park homer by Coby Mayo that ultimately secured the win for Baltimore. Fans who retrieved the historic ball received memorabilia and personal thanks from Alonso, who expressed gratitude for their support.
