Pete Alonso. The Polar Bear. The two-time Home Run Derby Champion. The Mets single-season home run record holder. The Major League rookie home run record holder.

It took 347 games for Alonso to send 100 balls over the fence, the fewest of any Met. Mike Piazza needed 379 games, Carlos Delgado 443, and Dave Kingman 374 to reach the mark. Alonso is the youngest to do it by a wide margin and joins Piazza and Delgado as the only two to do it in their first three seasons with the team.

Now let’s look back on how Alonso reached the mark. Starting with his first on April 1, 2019.

No. 1

Alonso’s first home run and “it’s outta here” from Gary Cohen came in the top of the ninth at the same stadium he’d end up hitting his 100th. This three-run shot scored former Mets Juan Lagares and Amed Rosario.

No. 10

Alonso’s 10th came nearly a month after his first on May 4, 2019. Alonso took the first pitch he saw from Junior Guerra to tie the game 2-2 in the ninth.

No. 11

Alonso loved the ninth inning. Three days after his 10th on May 7, 2019, his two-run shot broke a 5-5 tie with the Padres. The Mets would win 7-6 thanks to this 462 foot home run.

No. 18+ 19

Alonso recorded the first multi-home run game of his career on May 29, 2019, with a pair of two-run dingers off Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler.  Before he was the Polar Bear he was “Thunder Pete.”

No. 23

Alonso goes where few Mets had gone before with a towering shot into the third deck at Citi Field on June 15, 2019.

No. 27

Alonso broke Darryl Strawberry‘s 1983 rookie home run record with number 27 on June 23, 2019.

No. 40

Alonso sets the National League rookie home run record on August 18, 2019, at Kansas City.

No. 42

Alonso sets the single-season Mets home run record with his 42nd of the season at Citi Field on August 27, 2019.

No. 53

Alonso hits his 53rd and final home run of his rookie season on September 28, 2019, taking the rookie home run record from Aaron Judge.

No. 61

Against the Yankees on September 3, 2020, Alonso hits his first career walk-off home run. Sadly only cardboard fans were there to see it in person.

No. 75

Alonso blasts the 75th home run of his career in his hometown of Tampa on May 15. He breaks the longest homerless drought of his career at 54 at-bats.

No. 83

Alonso ties the game against the Yankees during Game 1 of a doubleheader on July 4. The Mets would score six runs in the inning batting around in the process.

No. 94

The second walk-off home run of his career and first in front of fans on August 12.

No. 100

Alonso becomes the second-fastest in Major League history to reach the 100 home run mark. Firmly cementing him as one of the best power hitters in Mets history.

No. 101

Alonso wasted no time surpassing 100 with a second blast in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s game. He joins Michael Conforto and Piazza as players to record their 100th and 101st home runs in a Mets uniform in the same game.
