Darryl Strawberry knows his time at the top is about to end. With 252 home runs in a New York Mets uniform, Strawberry has stood at the top of the leaderboard ever since he left Queens in 1990. But first baseman Pete Alonso now stands one long ball behind.

Darryl Strawberry is still the Mets’ franchise home run leader. How much longer that will remain the case is uncertain, with Pete Alonso on the cusp of breaking the record that Strawberry set over eight seasons (1983-1990) in Queens, but the Mets great isn’t bemoaning his impending displacement from a franchise record.
