A 71-91 New York Mets team shouldn't live on and yet because of the way three players performed, it's hard to ignore the season. The 1996 Mets were caught between the lows of the early part of the decade and highs of the latter part. In an era of MLB where offense was supreme and forearms of your first baseman looked like the thighs of a bodybuilder, you were truly putting together an all-world-season if you were able to win a Silver Slugger.
