Reyes, “JoJo”) surpassing Mookie all-time for triples as a Met, what a note to see that # 9 all-time Met for triples, with 25, is our own “Pride of the Monroe High School”, Steady Eddie!

Sure he had all those at-bats, but how could Eddie Kranepool leg-out more triples than, say, Tommie Agee, Wally Backman, Vince Coleman, Len Dysksta, Ron Hunt, Felix Millan, Hubie Brooks, etc.? Amazin’

Here is the top 10 all-time triples list, along with number of at-bats as a Met:
Jose Reyes, 63, 2,928
Mookie Wilson, 62, 4,027
Buddy Harrelson, 45, 4,390
Cleon Jones, 33, 4,223
Steve Henderson, 31, 1,800
Darryl Strawberry, 30, 3,903
Lance Johnson, 27, 947
Doug Flynn, 26, 2,137
Ed Kranepool, 25, 5,436
Lee Mazzilli,, 22, 3,013
