Alonso said the windmill motion in particular was inspired by The Who’s lead guitarist Pete Townshend. Townshend’s trademark windmill motion includes a windup, like Alonso’s now after he home runs, followed by a powerful strike on the chords. The difference is, Alonso’s powerful strike occurs before the windmill celebration. Alonso, who entered Wednesday with a team-high 22 home runs, referred to Townshend as a “rock legend.”
