- Slugger says he did not suffer serious injuries in crash
New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso said he is fine on Monday despite being in a car accident in which he says his vehicle flipped three times after another driver ran a red light.
“Yesterday I got in a really, kind of brutal car accident,” Alonso told reporters in Port St Lucie, Florida. “To me, it’s just really special to be here. This is a really special spring training because yesterday really was a close experience to death.
