Summary

In a conversation about Pete Alonso breaking his all-time Mets home run record, Darryl Strawberry showed his championship pedigree, focusing not on the individual accomplishment but on the importance of winning. Strawberry insisted that while records are nice, they are ultimately hollow without championships. He passionately recalled the "hate to lose" mentality of the 1986 Mets and urged the current team to adopt that same fierce, competitive spirit to deliver a winner for the long-suffering fan base. While classy and appreciative of Alonso, Strawberry's message was clear: individual accolades are secondary to team success and bringing a championship back to Queens.

The BT and Sal Show on the fan is presented by your tri-state Cadillac dealers, Cadillac the official luxury vehicle of the New York Mets. I do think it's interesting how he was telling us straws on the West Coast. So I assume that he was going to be, nothing is going to be hanging on for every single game to see Alonzo break the record.
