Thank you! Moneyball is a great film, one of my favorite baseball movies, and even though the Mets’ budget has zero correlation with the film, the moment felt right!
This was a Roy Hobbs moment for Pete. Honestly, Hollywood couldn't have come up with a better scenario. But I've always thought that baseball is a mirror of real life and our society. There's bad times and good times; there's stumbling and there's redemption; there's dark days, but there's always tomorrow. Pete needed this moment. The Mets needed this moment. The fans needed this moment.
Couldn’t agree more! I thought of a quote from For Love of the Game, “Push the sun back up into the sky and give us one more day of summer” by Vin Scully. Pete gave us that, now let’s enjoy playoff baseball!
Thier energy from Citi Field was electrifying. I remember sending a small prayer right before the home run. All Mets fans from around the world collectively gave Goku Pete the energy to launch that spirit bomb 💪
I said a prayer right before the first pitch to Lindor. I asked the Lord to bless these guys’ bats and let the spirit be with them. He answered our prayers.
This video gave me so many emotions, goosebumps, tears of joy, I love being a Mets fan no matter what they have given so many memories more than just memories of baseball but memories with family and all the rest
I watched this live on TV with my 1 month old son. It was one of the most inspirational moments I've ever witnessed on television and I remember 20 years ago feeling the same way after Ortiz walked off against the Yankees in the ALCS to later on win the next 3 games, win the world series and break the curse of the Bambino. I put this moment right next to that. As a life long Yankee fan but born in Queens. It's time I drop the pinstripes and root for the home team.
@@K33LMACHINE absolutely agreed, as a biased Red Sox fan I can say that moment meant more than I can describe - and I can only imagine how Mets fans feel about Pete right now!
Lmao waxing poetic about the team you're a "lifelong fan of" losing a championship and now dropping them for a team that's hot, you're honestly NOT a good fan and the Mets are TOO GOOD for you
Man, I’m with you. I’m a lifelong Sox fan, but this game was just different and this cinematic moment captures an instant classic. Hopefully the Mets have a great series against your Phillies. I’ll be cheering on the Mets and former Red Sox Kyle Schwarber simultaneously!
It’s moments like this that make America great! This is one for the history books, couldn’t happen to a nicer or more dedicated player! Congratulations Pete and Godspeed to the Mets on the rest of their journey! I’ll be watching! Saturday, October 5, 2024!🎉
Pete changed his life forever with one moment. He now will live forever with the likes of Kirk Gibson, Joe Carter, Carlton Fisk, & of course Bill Mazeroski...
Man, what an amazing moment. Really good job on the video. Even though I’m a Yankees fan, I can appreciate such an awesome moment. Very happy for Pete and the Mets. Hopefully the WS can be the Mets vs the Yankees. That would be amazing.
@@wasfurious thanks man! I’m a huge Red Sox fan, but if I’m being honest I would love a Subway Series World Series. Here’s hoping the Mets can get back on track tomorrow against the Phillies
@@boredsox78 Subway series would honestly be better than the Yankees vs the Dodgers imo. Also, gotta say, I love Rafaela, he’s such an electric player and I hope that he’s there to stay!
@@wasfuriousRafaela reminds me of a better hitting JBJ. He is so versatile too, between short and center. I’d rather see him exclusively in center to continue blowing our minds with his Superman dives, but also grateful we can slot him elsewhere when needed. I jokingly call him Discount Mookie Betts due to his versatility, but I doubt he’ll ever come close to that level of hitting greatness
His immediate reaction after that swing is so sick. That fact that he knew it was going out before any of us makes this even more legendary. The Polar Bear. #LFGM
Unexpected , WTF, OMG , Holy crap moments like this are why sports are so great. If you’re lucky enough to have it happen to your team .. well that’s something you never forget.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been spoiled by the greats like Big Papi various times throughout my life, and Pete encompassed that clutch spirit completely!
The greatest HR in our team's history is the one Mike Piazza launched against the Braves during the first baseball game in New York after 9/11. Nothing's ever topping that one. But. The *second* greatest HR in Mets history was the one Francisco Lindor hit on Monday to send us here after the season we'd had up to then. I say "was," because Pete Alonso just hit the only homer that ever possibly could have unseated Lindor's. Everything about it: the possibly last at-bat as a Met, the Brewers fans laughing at the dropped pop-foul, the bat trip from the previous night, the way the season began with a Milwaukee sweep? It was perfect. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Absolutely, it feels like a really special ball club. I’m a little nervous about the Phillies, and I’d be even more nervous about the Padres! Let’s see what they do!
Absolutely right my man, I would never compare the two teams or their spending (and lack thereof from the A’s) - just a fun baseball experience represented by an epic cinematic moment!

So that scene from Moneyball? Where Scott Hatteberg, a player whose career was on the verge of ending after an injury, where the A's took a chance on him by offering him a $900k salary, hits a home run that gives the A's a record winning streak? Pete Alonso is making $20 MILLION dollars this year. The Mets have THE HIGHEST annual payroll of any MLB team. This couldn't be less Moneyball. Great homer though
Agreed! Never said it was representing the Moneyball strategy of the A’s, rather it was highlighting the epic moment by Pete set to the music of an epic scene in a movie! LGM!
So much better without the ESPN announcers. They are horrible. Or maybe it’s just the Mets announcers are so good. I watch the game with the volume on zero and synch the MLB radio play by play. SO good.
Of course not, I would never compare the two teams or their spending (and lack thereof from the A’s) - just a fun baseball experience represented by an epic cinematic moment!
As a Mets Fan nearly all my life, I also get to say I HATE the Yankees. I cheer on Any and Every team that play against The Bronx Bummers. On a depressing day I watch the recap of the 1969 World Series. I sincerely hope that, on such a depressing day, you watch the Last Four games of the 2004 Playoffs as well as YOUR World Series.
You and me both! I do respect Judge and Soto, of course, because I’m also just a huge fan of baseball. I really want to revisit the 2004 and 2018 series, those were the most profound for me. I was also able to see the 2004 parade with my grandfather, we got to share that together in Boston, and he loved those Sox till the day he died! The team remains my bond with him forever
Moneyball? Didn't this team massively overspend on talent that got them nowhere and have to unload some of it? Pete Alonso is currently on a $20.5 mil contract for just one year lol.

Absolutely right my man, I would never compare the two teams or their spending (and lack thereof from the A’s) - just a fun baseball experience represented by an epic cinematic moment! (Brewers committed over $120 million this year, so hardly “Moneyball” compared to the A’s, but I feel you for sure because the Mets are on another level with their payroll. The Brewers also spent one of the lowest amounts of money per win, very Moneyballesque, which is pretty cool!)
they really aren't though. Yes we have a massive payroll, but a lot of that is tied up in players not even on the roster. And a massive reason for our success in the second half of the season are all the pitchers we picked up for cheap, and the forgotten players like Iglesias Bader and Taylor who were all cheap.
@@clickbait3753 respectfully, don’t contracts like Lindor’s refute that idea? Love these Mets, but I wouldn’t associate their signings of contracts, past and present, as representative of a team subscribed to Moneyball (outside generating runs/OBP, OPS, etc. of course)
@@boredsox78 im not saying that they are moneyball, but Stearns has used some moneyball practices in the signings of players we've picked up for dirt cheap this past offseason and even during the season.
As a Moneyball fan and a Mets fan, I can TOTALLY appreciate what you did here! Bravo!!
Thank you! Moneyball is a great film, one of my favorite baseball movies, and even though the Mets’ budget has zero correlation with the film, the moment felt right!

What a night it turned into..
Pete - Best Met ever.

“Moneyball” Like the Mets dont have one of the highest payrolls in baseball 😭
Absolutely right my man, I would never compare the two teams or their spending (and lack thereof from the A’s) - just a fun baseball experience represented by an epic cinematic moment!
That's the point, they didn't play the Reg season like theyre 300M. Most of that money was on Scherzer and Verlander. Dead money
I want to see the improbable Mets v Tigers WS.
Oh that would be fun! I wouldn’t hate a subway series to watch Yankee fans cry 😅
view number 89...
BACK TO BACKKKK!!!! calm the fck down
A lot of cockiness in that Brewers dugout before Pete stunned them!
Quick question why is Jesse winker slamming his helmet against the ground when he took $15 million from the Brewers
I think he was just really pumped. He was really pumped up on his triple during game 1, too
$320 million payroll moneyball
