Pete Alonso and the New York Mets are preparing for a fan-less 60-game regular season. The Mets have played a handful of exhibitions over the last week, getting a sense of what games without fans will look like.
Alonso compares playing in empty stadiums to playing in the Florida State League (quotes per amNY’s Joe Pantorno).
“It felt exactly like playing in the Florida State League,” Alonso said. “You can probably count how many fans are in the stands on both your hands in Florida State League games.”
Alonso says the Mets have to be “motivated” this season.
