MIAMI — Robinson Cano is the definition of baseball cool. He rarely shows emotion.
Pete Alonso is the big excitable kid.
The 14-year veteran Cano admitted he might get a little emotional Thursday in the Mets’ home opener at Citi Field against the Nationals, Cano’s first home opener in New York since 2013 with the Yankees. And Alonso is amped to make his major league home debut.
“I’m so excited to be back, I don’t even know how to put it into words,’’ Cano told The Post at Marlins Park on a night Jacob deGrom dominated in a 6-4 win to up the Mets’ record to 5-1.
