The 2025 All-Star Game was not just another night under the lights—it was a memory-making moment for one Mets slugger and his biggest supporter off the field. As Pete Alonso provided a thunderous three-run homer to support the NL to seal a dramatic 7–6 win, the star’s wife, Haley, watched proudly from the stands, balancing third-trimester exhaustion with overwhelming joy.
Later that night, Haley Alonso captured the feelings in a single Instagram post. “ASG 2025 was a BLAST i’m so proud of you @polarpete20! i quickly found out that heels, ATL summer weather & being in your third trimester is not a great combo but soaking in all these moments just the two of us until our little guy gets here.”
Haley’s post was not just a personal note. It highlighted the feelings of the fans and families everywhere.
Back in April, she and Pete had declared that they are expecting their first child. “Baby Alonso 2025. We can’t wait for this next chapter of becoming mom and dad.” And her recent message added warmth to that already electric All-Star story. For the Mets star, the moment was not special only because of his elite performance. It was also because Haley was there to experience it with him.
Alonso, playing in his fifth Midsummer Classic, entered the game as a defensive sub and made the largest impact with his bat. On a 1-0 pitch from the Royals Kris Bubic, the Mets star smashed a 367-foot shot over the right-field wall—only the third All-Star Game homer by a Met. Alonso has joined David Wright and Lee Mazzilli.
“I think that beats any Derby win,” Pete said afterward. “That’s really, really special for me,” he added.
In a season where Alonso sat out the Home Run Derby for the first time, it looked fitting that his All-Star spark came with Haley by his side. As fans roared and the star rounded the bases, Haley’s message reminded all that sometimes the most powerful stories happen just beyond the field.
Meanwhile, the Mets star did not hold back off the field either, voicing his opinion on how the game needs to evolve.
Pete Alonso’s wild rule transformation thoughts turn heads
In the middle of the All-Star festivities, the Mets star casually tossed out a suggestion that sent shockwaves through MLB. Polar Bear was asked what one MLB rule he would like to change. Without skipping a beat, the star reacted: Let hitters and pitchers fight it out like they do in hockey.
“I don’t think people should get ejected after charging the mound and fighting. I think it should be hockey style,” Alonso shared, keeping a straight face while reporters chuckled.
And as the Mets star continued, it was clear he had actually thought this through. The star laid out an entire structure: One-on-one brawls only—no benches clearing, no chaos. If a star does not want to fight, they can take a knee and walk away. If the stars do square up, only the loser gets tossed from the game. The winner? He stays in.
“That’s what I would change about the game,” Pete mentioned confidently. While the thought will likely never come close to an MLB rulebook, it definitely grabbed headlines.
As much as Pete thrives in the spotlight, the Mets star is also not afraid to stir the pot. It is part of the Polar Bear package—big swings, large momentum, and now large opinions. And now, with just five homers away from tying the NYM’s franchise record by Darryl Strawberry, fans can expect more than just fireworks from the slugger in the second half.
