Darryl Strawberry is still the Mets’ franchise home run leader. How much longer that will remain the case is uncertain, with Pete Alonso on the cusp of breaking the record that Strawberry set over eight seasons (1983-1990) in Queens, but the Mets great isn’t bemoaning his impending displacement from a franchise record.

Alonso already owned many of the Mets’ other home run milestones, including the single-season record of 53, which he set in 2019. He is the only player in franchise history with multiple seasons of at least 40 homers, a feat he’s achieved three times.
