Turns out, there was an ulterior motive behind Pete Alonso’s second-inning home run off Hunter Greene a few weeks ago.
In an appearance on Foul Territory, Alonso explained that his goal was merely to get back to the dugout and use the bathroom as quick as possible — which ended up having a good result.
“I mistimed my pregame coffee. Mistimed it. I had it too close to game time,” Alonso said. “And then I’m running, doing my sprints and then I throw in the middle of the first inning, I’m like goodness gracious, this is not good. “So I was hitting the top of the second, I was leading off the inning. I said I don’t care where this pitch is, this at-bat is ending first pitch. Because I need to go.”
Luckily for Alonso, the first pitch was something hittable, and he ended up tying the game at one after the Reds had scored in the bottom half of the first.Pete Alonso runs around the bases after hitting a home run against the Reds on May 10.“As soon as I touch home plate, it was straight to the bathroom,” Alonso said. “No high fives, straight to the bathroom.
“… That was best-case but dude, honestly, if I had to run the bases, honestly I would’ve gotten picked off on purpose or something. I would’ve had to go so bad.”Pete Alonso had no choice but to swing at a first pitch because he had to poop so bad after a poorly timed pregame coffee.
