The New York Mets pulled off an incredible comeback to secure a spot in the National League Division Series. In Game 3 of the Wild Card Round on Thursday, Pete Alonso hit a crucial three-run home run in the ninth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers, leading his team to a thrilling 4-2 victory.
Howie Rose, the Mets’ radio announcer, delivered an electrifying call of Alonso’s homer. The team celebrated by playing his iconic call on their plane ride home.

The game had been tense with the Mets trailing 2-0 until Alonso smashed Devin Williams’ pitch over right field. It marked a defining moment in Alonso’s career and was highlighted by Rose during his broadcast.
Next up for the Mets is a face-off against their familiar rivals, the Philadelphia Phillies, in the NLDS. Interestingly enough, despite sharing division rivalry in NL East, these teams have never battled it out in postseason play before.
Fans might think this matchup is going to be epic! The Phillies hold a slight advantage after winning seven out of thirteen games during regular-season encounters. However, with their current momentum and fiery spirit , many believe that stopping these red-hot Mets will be no easy feat.
As they gear up for what promises to be an exciting series against Philadelphia—what do you think? Can they keep this streak going?
