Not every big moment needs fireworks or drone footage to feel unforgettable. Sometimes, it’s just two people, a peaceful backyard, and one tiny bodysuit that says it all. That’s exactly how Pete Alonso and his wife, Haley, chose to reveal the latest and most exciting news about their firstborn.
The moment unfolded under an open sky, surrounded by greenery and simple happiness. Alonso, rocking a crisp white button-down and black pants, stood beaming beside Haley, who wore a flowing black dress—a vision of effortless glow. Both of them, holding a blue newborn bodysuit, screaming, “It’s a boy.” The announcement photo, shared shortly after the event, quickly found its way across baseball social circles and drew some touching reactions from fellow baseball wives who’ve walked this road themselves.
Among the first to react were some familiar names from the baseball world — women who know the rhythm of the season, the pressure of big moments, and the joy of off-field wins. Ashley Rodón, wife of Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón, didn’t just scroll past the post—she stopped, smiled, and showed up with genuine warmth. “Oh my gosh!! Congratulations!!” Her words were laced with pure, unfiltered joy.
Meanwhile, Katia Lindor, married to Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor, added a sweet and subtly hilarious message of her own: “2025 baby boy crew,” with blue heart emojis to match. It wasn’t just a “like” or a casual drop-in; it was a connection. A recognition that Haley was now joining a club that she and Ashley were already members.
Their responses carried extra weight because they weren’t random. These women have celebrated each other through some of life’s biggest shifts: babies, trades, injuries, and all the in-between. When Ashley welcomed her son in 2023, Katia and Haley both celebrated her in the comments, just as she had for them during family milestones. From offseason encouragement to midseason check-ins, this tight-knit group of women has created a space where support is the norm, not the exception.
In a world that often watches their husbands’ stats more than their stories, this gender reveal gave a glimpse of the joy, sisterhood, and love that exists behind the scenes. Because sometimes, it’s not just about who hits the home run, but about who’s there cheering when the confetti flies.
Pete Alonso’s offseason: Preparing for fatherhood while staying focused
Fatherhood may be on the horizon, but Alonso is already delivering in a big way where it matters most on the diamond. While the offseason brought the joyful news that he and wife Haley are expecting their first child, Alonso has stayed locked in at the plate, kicking off 2025 with the kind of fire Mets fans have come to expect. He’s clubbed early-season home runs with authority, played sharp defense at first, and perhaps most impressively earned quiet praise from within the clubhouse.
After a recent win against the St. Louis Cardinals, Mets catcher Luis Torrens pointed to Alonso’s in-game leadership and dugout energy as a key difference-maker, giving him a heartfelt Instagram shoutout.
Alonso’s presence is clearly bigger than his stats, though the numbers aren’t hurting. Already racking up RBIs and slugging at an elite level, he’s on pace for another All-Star-worthy campaign. And yet, through all of it—reporters, baby prep, and the everyday grind, Alonso has kept it cool. There’s a new level of calm to his game, one that comes from knowing who he is both on and off the field.
Becoming a dad may be his next big milestone, but right now, Alonso is leading by example and proving that focus, family, and firepower can go hand in hand.
