Who are the only two Mets to hit 50 or more doubles in one season -- (at any point in their respective careers, not necessarily as Mets)?

George Burns was God. He could have hit 600 doubles in a season if he felt like it.

he actually turned out to be a better guess than i thought. he had a high of 39 doubles, more than many, many other guys guessed. only keith (48), alomar (43), jeffries(40), mays (43) and green (49) top him.

Looked it up. Almost had it in the sense that I guessed one of his erstwhile teammates who came mighty close. Actual answer guy did not occur to me.

Why crazy? Because Torre was slow?

I thought maybe 1971, all that hitting, not enough speed for triples even in Busch. Crazy slow.

Having seen the list, I'd say that Torre was a great guess. Especially after MM set me straight with Minky. Olerud was another one who ran the bases with an invisible piano strapped to his back. After looking at the list of single-season doubles leaders, it seems that, all things being equal, slugging is more important than speed in accumulating two-baggers.

Double your fun with double Blue Jays. The only two Mets to hit 50 or more doubles in one season are Carlos Delgado (57, 2000, Toronto Blue Jays) and John Olerud (54, 1993, Toronto Blue Jays).

The top four were all Blue Jays at one point or another. Fleet birds!

|
And three of the top five seasons occurred within three years of each other, during the you-know-what era. Apparently, HR's weren't the only thing on the rise.
|
| Edgy MD May 14 2013 06:11 PM Re: The Double Your Fun Quiz |
|
I just figured that Delgado, offensive machine that he may have been, had two many potential doubles clearing the wall. The good-but-not-excellent-power guys were more attractive: the Wrights, Staubs, Heredeces, and Oleruds.

Eight of the top twelve single-season doubles marks of all time were made within a six year span by seven different players
