Baseball, a distinct sport, often brings such incidents into the picture, where everyone involved gets a taste of winning. And when it happens, no one wants to disturb the space and return with some regrets. But the New York Mets star Pete Alonso could not maintain it.

Pete Alonso Feels Awful for Throwing It Away

It was the fifth inning of the contest between the Mets and the Cardinals. And the Cardinals’ young shortstop, Masyn Winn, was at bat in the first game of his MLB career. Like any other player, it was an opportunity for him to make his first hit and he did exactly that. But the ball, possibly which he was going to have as a memory, Alonso threw into the stands. It was an unbelievable response from an experienced player. Talkin’ Baseball shared about it on their Instagram and captioned it, “No way.”
