Michael Conforto's rise to prominence with the Mets this season continued in Game 2 of the NL Division Series last night. With his second-inning home run off of Dodgers starter Zack Greinke, Conforto joined two very elite groups in Mets' history. He became only the second Met to homer in his first postseason at-bat, and only the fourth Met to homer in his first postseason game.
The only other Met to homer in his first postseason at-bat is Edgardo Alfonzo, who took former Arizona Diamondbacks ace and Hall of Famer Randy Johnson deep in Game 1 of the 1999 NL Division Series.
