Mets Top 100 Home Runs: From No. 41 (David Wright) to No. 45 (John Milner)

In 2009, I did a project for my website, Mets Walk-Offs and Other Minutiae, celebrating the best home runs in Mets history. I selected the top 60 regular season home runs and the top 15 postseason home runs. The reason I picked 60 was because it represented the top 1% of home runs in Mets history (and 15 just felt right for postseason). This was fun to do, but it was imperfect. I had one egregious omission. I tended to favor oddities. It’s time to give that project an update. And why not do it as a top 100? The Mets have hit 7,671 regular season home runs. The top 80 represent about the top 1%. And the top 20 postseason home runs get us to an even 100 to celebrate. Come along for the ride. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the reminiscing. Hopefully you’ll find it Amazin’.  No. 76 to 80 can be found  here No. 71 to 75 can be found  here   No. 66 to 70 can be found  here   No. 61 to 65 can be found  here No. 56 to 60 can be found   here No. 51 to 55 can be found  he
