I turned to artificial intelligence (AI) and asked for a political cartoon about the New York Mets and their quest for Juan Soto. First, I came up with the concept of what I wanted to create; then, I asked AI to draw it for me and after some tweaking, this is what I came up with (above).

Pete Alonso is the face of the New York Mets and he's the one player who can turn around his team and point them in the right direction.

The news got worse on Friday as the team learned this key player will miss next week's Subway Series at Citi Field.

As the first day of summer dawns, the two New York Major League Baseball teams are on a collision course for another Subway World Series for the first time in more than two decades. The Yankees have the best record in baseball. The Mets have the second best scorecard. In a few weeks, the two will face off for their regular season series. Maybe then we will see which team is better. However, which team has the best all around player? Who is the king of New York baseball?

Now it's certain: All those big swings by Pete Alonso and pinpoint fastballs from Jacob deGrom won't be enough to rally the New York Mets into October.

Round 1 of the 2019 Subway Series is a split.

The latest on a growing list of clutch hits and big home runs the rookie Alonso is quickly building his reputation on.

Pete Alonso, their 230-pound rookie slugger, squeezed into a clubhouse cart as ordered by teammates for a postgame dousing that included every available substance.
