Alfonzo was too prolific a home run hitter for this quiz.

By hitting his 20th HR as a Met near season's end, Curtis Granderson was assured of finishing the season with more than 19 HR's. No, really. Do the math. 18 other Mets in franchise history hit more than 15 HR's in a season without ever reaching the 20 HR milestone. Name them.

See my last post and switch a) 2000 for 1990; and Agbayani for Jefferies.

You think a guy that swung a hammer for a bat wouldn't hit 20 HR's in a season?

No, you're going crazy.

In all seriousness, yes, I changed it quickly. I though Burnitz was a better guess, because I remembered that he got traded in the middle of the one good year he had for the Mets and probably didn't hit 20 homers for the Mets alone that year.

So how come when I quoted your "Huskey" guess, it posted as "Burnitz". Wouldn't my "quoting" capture the old text?

Strange.
