When Pete was a catcher as a kid, he was a great admirer of Mike Piazza, whose Mets home run records he is now jeopardizing. At 28, Alonso needs just one more 30-bomb season to tie Mike's franchise-high of four. "Polar Bear" already owns the team mark for longballs in a season (53 in 2019) and career HR% (just ahead of Dave Kingman and Piazza).
You can't keep a good man down. Billy Rogell, Detroit shortstop, had trials with the Red Sox but was released. He went to the minors and played so well that Detroit nabbed him. Last year batted .271 in 143 games and fielded .944. Is 28 years old, five feet, 1034 inches tall and weighs around 165 pounds. Bats either right or left-handed. The Red Sox bought him in 1924 from the Salina, Kans., team of the Southwestern League.
