NBC New York’s Bruce Beck was inside the locker room with the Mets after their thrilling win over the Phillies to send them to the NLCS (ask him how the champagne in the eyes felt). Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and company have led Mets fans on the ride of their lives — and hope to keep it going.
As a winter storm is set to hit to hit New York City, it's fitting that the "Polar Bear" is returning to the Big Apple.

The deal is for two years and will keep Alonso with the team through at least the 2025 season.
