Pass the Popcorn: The Cornerstone: Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor

February 19, 2025

There are very few who love the Mets more than I do, but even I found the hyperbole about the upcoming documentary this a bit much:

In an unprecedented move that is sure to captivate baseball fans worldwide, Netflix has announced the release of a groundbreaking documentary series centered around two of the most beloved stars in Major League Baseball: Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor. Titled “The Cornerstone: Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor,” the series promises an in-depth look into the lives, careers, and off-field journeys of the dynamic New York Mets duo, offering fans a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of two of baseball’s brightest talents.

 

First of all, shouldn’t the title be Cornerstones? After all, there are two of them.

Second, and again, as much as I appreciate these guys, are they really “two of the most beloved stars in Major League Baseball?” I’m sure Dodger  and Yankee fans might have something to say about that, as would followers of any other team.

Third, isn’t it funny that the only announcement about the doc I could find comes from the United Kingdom? Maybe that’s why they feel they have to provide so much exposition.

Makes no never mind to me; I’m still gonna watch it.
