Okay. We'll declare Vic the winner here. The 1983 Mets regular alignment outfield combined to start 409 games, a franchise record.

Foster (LF) 151 games
Wilson (CF) 144 games
Strawberry (RF) 114 games.

The Mets outfield that finished second in this category to the '83 Mets OF was the following season's OF. The 1984 Mets primary outfield of Foster, Wilson and Strawberry started 408 games, one less than their 1983 counterparts.
