Story summary
On Tuesday, Pete Alonso hit his 300th career home run at Citi Field. Some fans noticed that Steve Cohen, the Mets owner, appeared to clap and cheer for the moment in a video posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). This came after Cohen commented on another tweet about general manager David Stearns not being around the team recently. The New York Post attempted to reach out to Cohen but did not receive a response. Alonso's home run helped extend the game into extra innings, which ultimately went against the Mets when Coby Mayo hit an inside-the-park home run in the 11th inning, securing a 7-5 win for the Orioles. This incident has raised questions about Cohen’s involvement and support for a player he once tried to trade away.
