Stolen bases haven’t been something the New York Mets have cared much about in recent seasons. Twenty years ago when they built up a World Series team, it was hardly a thought.
The 66 stolen bases on the year for the team put them in 27th place. Only the Montreal Expos, Boston Red Sox, and Oakland Athletics stole fewer.
This Mets squad didn’t have any true stolen base threat. If you had to guess who led the team in this category, I’m not sure you would ever get it right.
To save you some research, I’ll let you know it was a tie between Derek Bell and Lenny Harris.
