Pete Alonso is now the home run king of Queens, New York. On Tuesday, Alonso smashed career home run No. 253, which is the most ever by a New York Mets player. Alonso has established himself as one of the purest home run hitters in the game since his rookie season, when he smashed 53 of them. He has 200 since his rookie season in 2019.

Here are some immediate reactions to Alonso's home run record, passing the legendary Darryl Strawberry.

Alonso is not stopping anytime soon. He is going to demolish this record by the time he is done playing (assuming he stays with the Mets).

Here are some fans' reactions to the historic home run.

The Mets have been one of the worst teams in MLB over the last few weeks. They are hoping to get back on the right track, and maybe this moment can help them get there. The Mets are currently beating the Atlanta Braves 8-5 at the end of the fourth inning. This is a very high-scoring game that has a chance to be even higher by the end of the next five innings.

Brandon Nimmo added to the home run fun as he smashed a go-ahead three-run bomb in the fourth inning to take a 3-run lead.
