Neil Walker is the latest Met to hit 20 HR's in a single season. In recent years, we've been honoring these newest members of the Mets 20-HR club with 20-HR themed quizzes and this occasion is no different.

Whoever correctly identifies the last remaining Met in this quiz is the winner of the quiz. He or she will receive a custom made cyber baseball card of Bob L. Miller in a Padres uniform with Steve Rogers' name appearing on the card. Good luck.

Interesting pick. Mike Bordick had one 20 HR season. In 2000, Bordick hit 20 HR's: 16 for the Orioles and four as a Met. So he can't count. He never hit 20 HR's in one season for a team other than the Mets.

I keep thinking there's some 2000s outfielder who played a short while with the Mets but had one good season elsewhere. I was surprised that Gary Mathews Jr. was wrong.

Ed Bressoud hit 20 home runs for the 1963 Red Sox and not for the Mets. Felix Mantilla hit 30 home runs in 1964 for the Red Sox and not for the Mets. Maybe they're not on YOUR list, but they're correct answers to the question. Later

Well they're on MY list now. Jezz, I missed three of the last coupl'a answers. Who the hell knew that Mantilla once hit 30 HR's? You can make Felix Millan out of the letters in Mantilla's name.

I did. I remember being ticked off when he did it after the Mets traded him away. He even made the All-Star team that year. Later

... and speaking of lists that were a total bitch to compile, I forgot all about this quiz. Anyone still interested? I've got two remaining answers, but I'm not so confident now that there might not be others besides the two I've got. All on account of that I missed three of the last six guesses -- Darrin Jackson, Ed Bressoud and Felix Mantilla, who, it turned out, hit 30, not just 20, for a team other than the Mets.

I'll give you credit for Shamsky, but not for Paquette because I missed Paquette, too. How the hell am I supposed to know that Paquette once hit 20 HR's? You think I checked every single Met when I set up this furshlugginer quiz? That would've taken me like all day.

Brian McRae?

Incorrect because Mcrae had a 20 HR season for the Mets. Also, it was his only 20 HR season ever. So there's that, too.

Winner! Winner! It's Charlie Neal who's the last Met on my list. Neal broke 20 HR's in 1958, the Dodgers first season in LA, where the left field wall at the baseball configured Coliseum was just 250 feet away down the line and 320 feet to left-center. A 40 foot screen was erected to compensate for the absurdly short dimensions, but still, a fly ball hitter could have a field day exploiting that side of the stadium, which Neal did.
