Quizzes are fun right?

Inspired by the no homers club. (with den Dekker playing the part of Homer Glumpet)

Top 10 Mets players (by PA) with more intentional walks in a season than home runs.

One guess per post. One guy is there twice, another 3 times. You can guess a season if you like, but I'll provide all three answers if you name the duplicate guys.

Not sure this is a hint or not, but they're all basically full seasons. no cheesy 30AB guys here.

He did. Just not in the top 10 of PA.

17th, '98, 18th, '96, 22nd '01, 24th, '02, 54th '97


We can do greatest IBB-HR after if you like. It's not really that much different.
