OAKLAND — Think of the best seasons by the best hitters — any of them — in the history of the Mets. Who comes to mind? Darryl Strawberry a bunch of years in the 1980s. Mike Piazza right before or after the turn of the century. John Olerud in 1998. David Wright in ’07 or ’08, to choose two. Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado along with him. The list goes on.
Pete Alonso has topped them all in one of the categories he values most: runs batted in.
He highlighted the Mets’ 13-4 win over the Athletics on Sunday with a massive game: 4-for-5, a titanic two-run homer, a three-run double that was nearly a grand slam, three runs scored.
