We Can Pod It Out 158: Old Brown Shoe

Last night, Pete Alonso hit a pair of home runs to lift the Mets to a 9-3 win in the Bronx, the seventh time this season that a Met has gone deep twice. The Mets lost the first four of those games (including Alonso’s two-homer game in Milwaukee in April), but have won the last three. The last time a Met had multiple homers in a Subway Series game was Francisco Lindor’s three-homer game in 2021… what’s the last time a Met hit multiple dingers against all the teams?

The Mets visit the Guardians next May 20-22. Will we see them finally have a player hit multiple homers against the last team they haven’t done it against? They also still haven’t had it happen against the Royals in the regular season, and having Conforto’s two-homer game wind up a loss in the World Series… yeah, that’s how that one went.
