Abstract

Pete Alonso, known as the Polar Bear, led the New York Mets to a miraculous comeback in a crucial game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Trailing by two runs in the ninth inning, Alonso hit a three-run home run, becoming the first player to hit a go-ahead homer in the ninth inning or later of a winner-take-all postseason game. This victory was significant for Alonso, who had been struggling recently and was set to become a free agent. The win changed the narrative surrounding his performance and added to his legacy with the Mets. [Extracted from the article]
