Pete Alonso has plan for socially-distant walkoff celebrations

Pete Alonso was regarded for top mad Mets walkoff celebrations last time by ripping off teammates’ jerseys in the middle of the area as effectively as dumping ice buckets on them.

So how does he imagine the staff should really celebrate this season (if there is just one) in the coronavirus?

Alonso, a visitor with Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, Keith Hernandez and Steve Gelbs on SNY’s “Beyond the Booth Live” recently, was questioned best way the staff should celebrate in a social-distancing satisfactory way.

“I signify, is that a rule?” Alonso requested when the problem was introduced to his consideration. “I don’t want to set myself in a bind, because I really do not know if we’re heading to get fined or something like that, but how are we likely to rejoice a walk-off staying 6 feet apart?”

Immediately after having difficulties to come with an instant reply — calling it a “head scratcher” — the 25-yr-old very first baseman inevitably developed a neat answer right after some prompting from Gelbs.

Gelbs brought up an concept of his teammate Dominic Smith, which he earlier threw out there during a past SNY clearly show. Smith’s proposed applying a selfie-adhere-like contraption to nevertheless pull the jerseys off.

Alonso’s idea could have crushed it, while.

“Or what we need to do is like use the hose to spray the human being down, like the area crew hose,” Alonso stated. “I don’t know.”

Although Alonso hasn’t been enjoying, he’s been contributing a ton a lot off the discipline in the course of the coronavirus pandemic supporting frontline staff. He also has added his help to a developing checklist of athletes decrying the demise of 46-year-old George Floyd and supporting the Black Lives Matters motion and pushing for increased racial justice and the stop of law enforcement brutality.

Alonso, who explained the Mets are a close-knit group, also is hoping to get back on the area before long.

“It’s a near-knit team, and I’m all set to get back again after it,” Alonso said. “All of us pull for each other and it’s just a definitely excellent ecosystem and a excellent group of men. I’m psyched for any time we get back going.”
