Since its inception in 1980, the New York Mets have had more than their fair share of Silver Sluggers. In total, 14 players have taken home the hardware to honor the best hitter at their position 20 times.
Even with some pretty solid representation, one can look back through history and find other deserving seasons. After winning the award in 1999, Edgardo Alfonzo put together arguably a better season in 2000, but didn't come home with the hardware. That doesn't classify as a robbery, though, as the man he lost to, Jeff Kent, was also honored with NL MVP honors.
