And last night's homer ties Alfonso in Mets lore with sure-handed firstbaseman Rico Brogna, legacy catcher Todd Hundley, funky-haired infield import Kaz Matsui, athletic outfielder with a flair for the dramatic Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and Topps All-Rookie Team catcher-out-of-nowhere Omir Santos.

The Phillies series, beside sucking all kinds of ways, was a very rare series in which Alonso did not homer. I'd go back to check if it was the first four-game set he didn't homer in, but I'm just too sad.

I figured there was no way that Pete would be putting a dent in the rookie RBI record. Before our era, a slugger of his capacity didn't screw around batting second, but was always put in the best situation to pick up RBI in the 3-4-5 positions.

I'd rather do this after a win, but lately, Alfonso's homers have been solo shots coming in losses, and his better games are when he gets a few hits gap-to-gap, or key walks, and contributes to bigger rallies.

Nice to finally update Alonso's march after a win. It's cool to see him tie Fred Lynn 1975 in RBI, as that year Fred became the first rookie to win the MVP, a feat since equaled only by Ichiro Suzuki. His 105 RBI also equals what had been the Mets' all-time record up until 1991.

In addition to all the gifts Pete Alonso has offered this season, he may give the Mets their fourth-ever home run title, following Dave Kingman (1982), Darryl Strawberry (1988), and Howard Johnson (1991). He not only leads, but his team has more games to play than most, projecting him further than the rest.
Interestingly, all three of the Mets homerun champs were gone after two more seasons or sooner. Let that not be Alonso's fate. He has also moved up to 44th on the Mets all-time homer list, despite playing less than a season. He just passed Hubie Brooks and sits a single homer behind John Stearns. Longtime Mets, those guys.

That's certainly part of the story, though. Due largely, I'm sure, to the unprecedented offensive environment in which his numbers have been produced, FanGraphs for instance, gives him only enough fWAR to (so far) barely scrape into the top 40 Mets non-pitching seasons ever (with 10 games to play).

You know who's not on that list? Think a while before you scroll down to the bottom of this post for the answer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mike Piazza. The stat must think something awful of Mike's defense.

Piazza, and all catchers, should be given extra credit for simply being able to catch. It's a brutal position. Wanna know what I always thought was one of the greatest things about Piazza (even though it only lasted for a year and a half -- from when he got here to the end of the 1999 season)? That he could play the catcher position, period. Otherwise, with his lethal bat, he'd play, but in the NL, he'd be a first baseman and the Mets never would've been able to play Piazza and Olerud at the same time. I'll betcha that that doesn't show up in fWAR.
