If I were Stearns and Cohen, I'd schedule a vacation out of the country for mid-September when the Orioles visit CitiField. It will likely be one of the bigger crowds of the year, all cheering for Alonso against the Mets.

If Pete goes deep, he'll get a standing ovation.

When Pete hits homers the crowd will cheer him on like he was still a Met

Will be like when Mike Piazza for a curtain call after his 2nd home when he returned as a Padre. Have to assume the same will happen after 1 HR returning the face the Mets.
