David Stearns Must Stay Focused Amidst Pete Alonso’s Game Heroics

Milwaukee: It was a chilly 19 degrees on Wednesday morning. You know it’s cold when you have to defrost your hair before brushing it. It reminded me of something Frank Gifford said back in 1967 before the Ice Bowl at Lambeau Field. He joked about having a nice bite of his coffee.

These cold days are perfect for dreaming about baseball. Just close your eyes and think of those warm summer games. Thanks to technology, you can easily relive any game you want in seconds.

Now, Mets president David Stearns has to keep his head in the game when it comes to Pete Alonso. Alonso hit a magical game-winning homer against the Brewers, but Stearns can’t let that sway his negotiations with the first baseman. That’s easier said than done, as Mike Vaccaro from The Post points out.

Picture this: it’s October 3, 2024, at Milwaukee’s American Family Field. The Mets are down 2-0 in the ninth inning, but they have two men on base against Devin Williams, who’s now a Yankee. Pete Alonso is up to bat with one out and a 3-1 count. The tension is real!
