That's alot of stats! I'm guessing most of the answers consist of Wright, Reyes, Piazza, Leiter, Glavine, Trachsel, Feliciano and Benitez. I had Delgado for GIDP and HBP, Castillo for Sac Bunt (couldn't think of anyone else) and Pelfrey for balks.

It's a shame that I couldn't choose Pedro or Beltran for any of these...but I just couldn't.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think Johnny is looking for MLB leaders, not Mets leaders.

[TransMonk]

Mother of pearl! Nevermind...I'd avi, but put too much work in without reading the directions.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I suppose that the lazy thing to do would be to take Pujols for all the hitting stats, Santana for pitching and Mariano for relief pitching.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ooops yeah, meant O.B.B.* leaders. They included a list of them in the Daily Snooze the other day

*-Organized base ball, as it was called by the Sporting News for so many years.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Here's a clue:
No Mets or x-Mets are represented in the offensive categories but several appear in the pitching categories...

[Gwreck]

I'll start by guessing David Weathers for relief appearances.

(I'll also add that I think this would be a lot more fun if people were limited to one guess at a time instead of filling out the whole big form at once).

[Centerfield]

Hits: Ichiro
Sac Bunts: Willie Randolph
Everything else: Pujols

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

See how easy that was?

Relief Appearances: David Weathers, 711?

Gwreck on the board.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hits: Ichiro Suzuki, 2030?
CF up there

[Guest sharpie]

Alex Rodriguez: homers
Andy Pettitte: wins

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Home Runs: Alex Rodriguez, 435
Wins: Andy Pettitte, 148?

Sharpie scores twice

[Centerfield]

Stolen Bases: Carl Crawford
Triples: Carl Crawford

[Centerfield]

Alex Rodriguez: homers
Andy Pettitte: wins[/quote:2gaudq82]

Not in a million years would I have guessed Pettite. I'm calling out sharpie and alleging that he is using a baseball almanac.

Years later sharpie will admit to using an almanac but deny that it helped him with the answers in any way.

"Those answers came from God."

Oh, I don't think so. Don't confuse yourself with facts, my friend. They only obscure the light.
