Sean Manaea Comments on Mets Fans' Reaction to Pete Alonso's Milestone

During a recent game at Citi Field, New York Mets fans showed their admiration for Baltimore Orioles player Pete Alonso, who hit his 300th career home run, tying the game in the ninth inning. This marked Alonso's return to the stadium after leaving the Mets in free agency.

Following the Orioles' 7-5 victory in extra innings, Mets pitcher Sean Manaea remarked on the crowd's enthusiastic response, suggesting it was unusual given Alonso's status as an opposing player. Manaea acknowledged Alonso's significance to the Mets and expressed mixed feelings about the fans' reaction.

Despite the Mets being eliminated from playoff contention, fans attended the games to support Alonso, who is the franchise's all-time home run leader. Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor also urged fans to show more support for their own team during the game.
