The Mets have officially found their post-game celebration for walk-off hits, at least for now.

Pete Alonso confirmed the celebration while laughing with reporters in the locker room after the big win.

"If you hit a walk-off, your shirt is coming off," Alonso said.

The celebration occurred tonight, as J.D. Davis was the victim, after he hit his first career walk-off. The jersey getting ripped off first happened to Michael Conforto on Aug. 9 after the team rallied from a 6-3 deficit to beat the Washington Nationals 7-6.
