Monday night, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso had just hit his 18th home run of the season. He was rounding 3rd base and as he faced his teammates in the dugout he began to do an imitation of a Pete Towsend guitar windmill. Alonso was indicating to his fellow Amazin's that they were rockin'. Pete Alonso likes to have fun and he's not afraid to show it. Following his second Home Run Derby Championship, the young first baseman is blossoming into a star. But is Pete Alonso one of the Top 5 Sports Stars in the Empire State, I don't think so. Let's take a look.

This may come as a surprise, but none of the top five highest paid athletes in the world last year play in America's 'Big Four' sports - football, basketball, baseball or hockey.

Some Oklahoma State fraternity members got a welcome surprise to their flag football roster on Monday night when Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant showed up for the game. Durant tweeted on Monday saying, “This lockout is really boring. Anybody playing flag football in OKC. I need to run around or something!”
