Pete Alonso didn’t imply it, he swears.

Worry not. It seems the ball — which you’d usually toss to the dugout for the participant to maintain — was retrieved and all is nicely.
However the incident itself? Sort of a wild sequence of occasions.

As for a way Wynn felt? No exhausting emotions. Through MLB.com:
“I feel all people will bear in mind their first massive league hit or first massive league strikeout, and I’m tremendous excited that I bought the ball again,” mentioned Winn, who went 1-for-4 within the Cardinals’ 7-1 loss to the Mets at Busch Stadium. “I used to be attempting to not crack up laughing as quickly as I heard [Busch Stadium fans yelling for the ball to be returned]. It was very humorous, and I’m actually glad [she] gave it again and that I bought to signal a ball for her.”
