Pete Alonso Pulled To The Ground: MLB World Reacts

April 28, 2022 by The Spun

New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso hits a baseball.

Frustrations boiled over in the Mets-Cardinals series after St. Louis third baseman Nolan Arenado felt a pitch was a bit too high and tight in the bottom of the eighth. Benches would clear leading to an on-field brawl that saw Mets All-Star Pete Alonso taken to the ground at one point.

The baseball world reacted to the sequence across social media Wednesday afternoon.

“The meathead on the Cardinals that Greco-Roman wrestled Pete Alonso to the ground looks like he’s been waiting for this moment his entire life,” one user pointed out.

“Pete Alonso minces no words regarding today’s altercation,” tweeted Mets beat writer Anthony DiComo. ‘If I wanted to put somebody in the hospital, I easily could.’ Says he was simply protecting his teammates when he was thrown to the ground.”
