The 1969 starting regular alignment outfield of Cleon Jones, Tommie Agee and Ron Swoboda combined to start 326 games in the outfield that season at their main or primary outfield positions - (Jones-119,LF, Agee-137,CF, Swoboda-70,RF).

Which Mets outfielders combined to start the most games at their main or primary outfield positions in a single season? Give me the three outfielders and the season.

That outfield just missed the top 10, ranking #11 on this all time list -- a lot closer to the top than to the bottom.


foster-wilson-strawberry?

Um, 1983 or 84, something like that, before Dykstra came along, reducing Foster and Wilson's ABs.



This is unacceptable. I think. I'll have to mull this one over.

Okay. We'll declare Vic the winner here. The 1983 Mets regular alignment outfield combined to start 409 games, a franchise record.

Foster (LF) 151 games
Wilson (CF) 144 games
Strawberry (RF) 114 games.


Which Mets outfield finished in second place in this category?

The Mets outfield that finished second in this category to the '83 Mets OF was the following season's OF. The 1984 Mets primary outfield of Foster, Wilson and Strawberry started 408 games, one less than their 1983 counterparts.
