The Other 41 in Mets History

And Forbes Field had a 365' left field line ( a fence put up 30 feet in front of the high scoreboard that was his original target. The fence was originally put up when the Pirates got slugger Hank Greenberg and was called Greenberg Gardens until he retired, then called Kiner's Corner.) and a 406' left center power alley.

What an accomplishment!

Mike hit his 40th HR of 1999 in the Mets' 161st game. The club tried to help him tie or break the record by getting him a 163rd game, but he stopped at 40. I assume it was because he wanted Todd to maintain one Met legacy.
