Congrats to Gator Pete Alonzo for being the MLB HR Champ! Broke the rookie record and the first time a rookie has lead the majors.
Pete Alonzo HR Champ!
- Thread starter GatorGray
- Start date
Not to bad, especially considering that he wasn't even expected to be a starter... 
I, for one, am super excited to see how Alfonso’s career plays out.

I was repeating what the sports commentators said, but I agreed with them,,, at least for this year anyway. I never believed that the be a MLB wash-out though, just a matter of when.
He was a 2nd Rnd pick in 2016.
He had to pay some dues in the minors, he didn't go straight to the bigs.
And Pete said himself that he wasn't sure coming out of the Spring that he'd made the roster.
I'm real happy for him, even though I'm not really a MLB fan.
I did watch his run in the HR Derby,,, those were some monster million dollar shots.
And now I join with all of the Gator nation in congratulating him on his Pro success.
Polar Bear Pete is now well on his way to $tardom....
