Bigger Apple Quiz

OK, now that we know that 401 men have hit home runs as Mets, if we add all their homers up how many have there been? (Thanks to Ben Grimm for the answer, he's unfortunately unable to participate) Same rules -- no looking up, 1 guess each. Winner gets:

Now if it was a: I'd have played. 401. That's amazing. I couldn't even picture to guess. Great quiz though. I'll use these on my brothers.

You guys were pretty bad at this one. Fman -6816 Cooby -4432 Ceetar -2773 RealityChuck -2533 Willets -2249 d'Kong -2040 Metfairy -1565 Sharpie -1417 Frayed Knot -1262 LWFS -943 dwg -876 MFS62 -792 Seawolf -548 Correct answer 6,817 Edgy +851 Congrats and a happy Hostess snack to champion Seawolf. MFS wins place and Edgy DC show. Unfortunately, nobody won the Apple iPhone I was gonna buy for the correct guess. Thanks to Grimm for figuring this all out!

Ceetar Jan 12 2016 05:34 PM Re: Bigger Apple Quiz

I leaped to the wrong statistic. I'd remembered that the Mets had just surpassed 4000 this season and got all excited. Turns out that was Wins, not HR.

Frayed Knot Jan 12 2016 05:40 PM Re: Bigger Apple Quiz

My original guess was 6,480 but then for some reason talked myself down from that. I started by figuring that 200/year for a team was a 'good' year so I estimated 60% of that: 200 x 54 seasons = 10,800 x .6 = 6,480

seawolf17 Jan 13 2016 02:25 PM Re: Bigger Apple Quiz

Woohoo! I figured at least 100 a year, which made 5400 the baseline, but I wanted to make it a Metly number. So there you go.
