How about Fonz in the 10th spot?

[Frayed Knot]

Fonzie was a pedestrian 16th in walk rate as a Met



Think power!

John Milner #4.

[Chad ochoseis]

Fonz wasn't exactly powerless...

One left on the board. I know I should drop out and let the board go clean, but I can't help but guess.



Mucus Duda! #2!

[Frayed Knot]

Doo-Dah is indeed the second best walk-getter among all long-timey Mets, but still a long shot behind the red-headed leader.

I wonder how much/if any coach Eddie Yost had on that aspect of the game. I get the feeling that coaches did a lot less in those days

so possibly not a lot. But Yost, who in addition to STILL being the best fielding 3rd base coach I've ever seen, was known as 'The

Walking Man' during his playing career and indeed he racked up a stunning .140 isolated OB rate over his 18 year long career,

or a walk in about 17.5% of his career PA.

Usually only power hitters lurk anywhere hear that territory and Yost was no power guy [5' 10 / 170 - 139 career HR]

I knew Muffy was a low walker (to borrow a term from Seinfeld), but I wouldn't have guessed him for dead last if this were a quiz designed the other way around.

As a Nat he upped that to .051







btw, bad news to the second place finishers: I'm all out of steak knife sets. I'm also out of Cadillac El Dorados

[Edgy MD]

Gil Hodges' predecessor, Wes Westrum, was also a walking terror — throwing down a .139 walk rate over his career.
