How can you not love Pete Alonso’s enthusiasm for life? The New York Mets first baseman slugged his way into our hearts in 2018 before even reaching the big leagues. In 2019, he dug in his claws and made a home in our aortas where he’ll stay—probably forever.
Heading into his second big league season, Alonso has some big goals. The most fun of all, the Polar Bear wants “to be on a parade float, drunk as hell.”
For clarification’s sake, Alonso isn’t talking about invading a holiday parade. He’s not going to show up on Thanksgiving dressed up in a red Santa Claus outfit.
