THE List: Top 10 Mets Player Seasons
(From the archives — originally posted 7/6/11)
Tom Seaver (1969)
25-7, 2.21 ERA, 208 Ks
The list is limited to one season per player, or Seaver would be on it about five times. 1969 was his best year — he won his first of three Cy Youngs as well as 25 games, a Mets record that still stands.
Dwight Gooden (1985)
24-4, 1.53 ERA, 268 Ks
Gooden won the pitching triple crown and the Cy Young. His 1.53 ERA is a Mets record.
David Cone (1988)
20-3, 2.22 ERA, 213 Ks
Just a superb year. His league-leading .870 winning percentage gives him the nod over Jerry Koosman’s 1968 season.
Bernard Gilkey (1996)
.326, 30 HRs, 117 RBIs
