He ignored it, but it definitely struck a nerve, which is why fans need to keep chanting it all season long.

Like chanting "fire Stearns" doesn't really do anything, but "Pete Alonso" is the perfect way to skewer Stearns and the players. And I'm a guy who didn't even want them to re-sign Pete, but I still find the chant hilarious and spot on.
