Throwing a ball after a change is quite often seen on the baseball field. One prime example was on Friday night when New York Mets, Pete Alonso threw MLB rookie Masyn Winn’s first ball into the stands. Although Alonso’s actions were unintentional, the Cardinals’ loyals had it with him on the field.
Boos were heard when Alonso took the field twice after the incident. Fans immediately started screaming when the ball was thrown. Some even shouted out to the fan to give the ball back to Winn as it’s his first precious memento.
“I feel like a piece of crap,” Alonso stated after the Mets’ 7-1 victory at Busch stadium. He said that he “feel like an idiot” stating it was a “complete bonehead move” from his side. First-hit balls are always precious to rookies as they signal the start of their new journey. The 28-year-old understood its meaning and the consequence of what could have happened if Winn didn’t get the ball back.
Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt were heard yelling at Pete Alonso from the stands asking “what the hell” was he doing? Nevertheless, Masyn Winn commented that he found the situation a bit funny and it was nothing too serious.
Winn said, “It’s really just a funny story” and he knew that it was an unintentional move. “Really a great guy.” “Sucks that it happened to him,” Winn commented. It’s alright to say that Friday’s incident was wrapped up nicely by Alonso offering an apology with gifts to the MLB rookie.
