The Cardinals ultimately were able to get the ball back from the fan who caught it.
It was unclear in the moment whether Alonso knew it was Winn's first hit. But after the game, Alonso called the incident"just a bad brain fart" and that he felt"awful" about it.
"I feel horrible. I feel awful. I know it sounds stupid, but it's just a bad brain fart," Alonso told reporters."Throwing the ball in the stands, that robs him of a really special moment. I feel really bad thinking back on my first hit and just getting the ball thrown back to the dugout. "I always throw the ball in the stands [when it's being switched out] but I'll never throw the ball in the stands again. I'm just gonna roll every ball to the dugout when they're going to switch it out."I feel horrible. I feel awful. I know it sounds stupid, but it's just a bad brain fart."
Pete Alonso says he feels "terrible" for throwing the ball from Masyn Winn's first hit into the stands:
