Blog: MetsGeek’s Real Met Killers

by Matthew Cerrone on January 9th, 2008 at 9:58 am

In a post to MetsGeek, Alex Nelson breaks out his calculator to determine the top 12 ‘Real’ Met-Killers of all time, i.e., guys who hit significantly better against the Mets compared to when playing against other teams.

According to Nelson, the ‘real’ No. 1 Met Killer of all time is not Chipper Jones, Derek Jeter or Pat Burrell, but OF Rico Carty, who had a 1.064 OPS in 360 at-bats against the Mets - compared to .833 OPS against other teams.

…hmm, tell that to Armando Benitez, and the dent i put in my kitchen wall thanks to Brian Jordan

…also, i have never hated a player more than i hated John Rockerand, frankly, i suspect Kenny Rogers is among the most hated Mets, thanks to his performance while actually pitching for the Mets - a true accomplishment if ever there was one…
