New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is a big, strapping dude, but this had to be one of the scariest moments you could imagine. Doesn’t matter how big you are.
Get this story:

He said he had to kick in his windshield to get out of the car, which flipped over. “Thank you, Ford, for having great engineering.” He said he’s happy to be alive and healthy and playing baseball.

I’m just in shock over here at this story – happening just yesterday! – and there were no issues, and he’s there at Spring Training like nothing. What a lucky, lucky situation.
Pete Alonso’s wife, Haley, just posted this video on her Instagram of Pete’s car after his crash yesterday. Pete said today the car flipped three times and he had to kick out the windshield to escape. pic.twitter.com/L1h5KWvnvc
