Mic’d-Up Pete Alonso Raved About Grimace Helping Mets During Win Over Cubs

The Mets slugger gave a sweet shoutout to a purple creature on Sunday.

Alonso, who was mic’d up during the Mets’ 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday night, gave a very flattering opinion of McDonald’s lesser-known mascot now forever written into Mets’ 2024 season lore.

“Probably Grimace,” Alonso said when asked during the third inning whether he would want to go on a walk with Frank the Tank or Grimace. “Grimace got us hot,” Alonso continued. “If we can keep Grimace around and keep playing good ball, good things are going to happen… It takes time for certain things to unfold. Those seven games didn’t happen all at once, I mean winning seven in a row was super nice. We’ve played really well on the road so far, and it’s been nice playing well, that’s for sure.

Prior to Grimace’s first pitch, the Mets had only won eight of their last 20 games in a disappointing two-month start to the season.Kristen Wong is a Staff Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
