Carlos Beltran wants Pete Alonso to break his Mets homer mark

Carlos Beltran won’t be sad to see the record he shares fall. In fact, the former Mets outfielder will be thrilled when Pete Alonso sets a new franchise mark for most home runs in a single season.

“I love to see guys breaking records and setting higher standards for generations to come,” Beltran told The Post in a phone interview Thursday. “Honestly, [having the record] is something that I don’t really think about. I just hope for him to continue to do his job and continue to have a good season. Records are made to be broken and I like to see especially younger guys doing well in baseball.
