Pistol Pete Alonso is one of the few storylines New York Mets fans can embrace from this disappointing season.
On Friday, Alonso received his $1 million check for winning the Home Run Derby. Not only did he receive the money, but it also came in the form of a ridiculous oversized check. Large checks are one of life’s simple pleasures and if that makes me a simpleton, I’m alright with that.
But large checks aside, Alonso is using his winnings to give back to the Wounded Warriors Project and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
