Something I came across recently and seems like an enjoyable [CROSSOUT]CPF[/CROSSOUT] GCM/WPM quiz:


Can you name the players who are (a) in the top 5 of a franchise’s all-time WAR leaderboard; and (B) also played for the Mets at some point in their career?


Example:

Willie Mays is #1 on the Giants all-time WAR leaderboard. He also played a few games for the Mets.


Note:

-Franchises (not teams), so Pilots/Brewers, Senators vs. 1/Twins, etc. are a collective unit. No distinction for city moves either.

Willie Mays, Giants.

 

Bold choice going with the guy already listed on the leaderboard as the example.

Filling in here a bit. Yes, as noted, this does not include the Mets’ own leaders.

I'd guessed it already. Apparently, he's conineteenth on the Marlins list, which is surprisingly low.


Roberto Alomar, Guardians


Oops... Conine is sixteenth. I would have bet some serious Cranebucks that Mr. Marlin was at least top ten.
