Mets’ Pete Alonso wasn’t about to let MLB stop his 9/11 tribute
Alonso
is not only having a great rookie season for the Mets. He's special!
NYPost reports his first thought was to get custom baseball caps with a 9/11
theme, but Major League Baseball blocked the idea with a mile of red tape, so
Pete Alonso came up with another plan.
The
Mets first baseman would buy each of his teammates custom-made cleats with
different designs honoring the 9/11 first responders, and to heck with approval
from MLB.
So,
the Mets took the field Wednesday night at Citi Field wearing their 9/11 shoes
to honor the victims, families and first responders. The result was a 9-0
Mets win over the Diamondbacks on 11 hits. And if you think the baseball
gods weren’t applauding Alonso for his efforts, then maybe should look again at
the final boxscore.
