Who are the 15 Mets with the most lifetime hits in their entire Major League baseball careers? One guess per post. Scoring: The Met with the most hits is worth one point. The Met with the second most hits is worth two points., etc. Deduct three points for each wrong answer. Deduct five points for each post that includes multiple answers.

So if I'm reading this correctly, you're looking for the guys with the most career hits who played at least part of their careers as a Met? Eddie Murray.
