Because we're one year closer to the end of his contract. BTW, his 2014 season was remarkably similar to his 2013 season, numbers-wise -- although I'd suppose that his Mets numbers, accumulated in a tougher hitting environment, are more valuable. Grandy's also the 36th Met to hit at least 20 HR's in a season, thus meriting a quiz in his honor. It's a forum tradition. We did it for Hairston and Byrd and Duda, and it wouldn't be fair to exclude Grandy. And you won't need to bone up on ol' Charlie Smith for this one.

By hitting his 20th HR as a Met near season's end, Curtis Granderson was assured of finishing the season with more than 19 HR's. No, really. Do the math. 20 other Mets in franchise history hit more than 15 HR's in a season without ever reaching the 20 HR milestone. Name them.

You think a guy that swung a hammer for a bat wouldn't hit 20 HR's in a season? [fimg=844]http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzgwWDEyNDg=/z/WtEAAOSwEK9TwXy2/$_57.JPG[/fimg]

No, you're going crazy. --- In all seriousness, yes, I changed it quickly. I though Burnitz was a better guess, because I remembered that he got traded in the middle of the one good year he had for the Mets and probably didn't hit 20 homers for the Mets alone that year.
