Off-Season Quiz Redux

batmagadanleadoff Nov 25 2019 11:02 AM

We ran this exact same quiz a few years ago. Now, once again, with some changes to the top 10 list that have developed over time --- we're looking for the top 10 all-time HR hitters as a Met -- among players who've never appeared in a Mets post-season game. So, no Darryl Strawberry here. One guess per post. No two-in-a-rowing.

I'll take some low-hanging Pete Alonso fruit.

I'll take some low-hanging Pete Alonso fruit. Not as low-hanging as you think. Alonso was 10th on the list out of 10 and just barely made the cut. [IMG]https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2019/Topps-Now---Home-Run-Derby/HRD-2/Pete-Alonso.jpg?id=f36621a3-966b-4997-ae7d-637d7cd4ea03&size=original[/IMG]

Yeah. For me, Kent would be the toughest answer here. If I played this quiz, obviously without knowing the answers ahead of time, and was allowed to take as many guesses as I wanted to take until I completed the list, I think Kent would be my last correct player named. I'm always undercounting the amount of time he was a Met.

Two more to go. We're looking for the top 10 here, but there are 11 Mets in the top 10 because there's a two-way tie for 10th place.
