Baseball players have experienced some crazy incidents. Most recently, Mets star Pete Alonso revealed a bathroom emergency that led to him hitting a home run. The star infielder recently appeared on the Foul Territory podcast and revealed that he hit a home run because he needed to use the bathroom. Alonso had mistimed his morning coffee and was in trouble. So he decided to go after the first pitch and it ended up being a home run.

During the podcast, Alonso said, “So, uh, I mistimed my pre-game coffee, mistimed it. I had it, had it too close to game time. And then I’m running, doing my sprints, and then I throw and then middle of the first inning I’m like ‘goodness gracious’. I, this is not good. So, um, so, I was hitting at the top of the second, I was leading off the inning. And I said, ‘I don’t care where this pitch is, this at-bat is ending first pitch’. Because I need to go. And then first pitch I get a hanging slider and then I deposit it in the seats and as soon as I touch home plate, it was like straight to the bathroom. No high fives, straight to the bathroom.”
