A Willie/Wally Fun Fact


We all know that, at different times, Wally Backman and Willie Randolph both played second base for the Mets.

With Willie as the Mets' primary 2B, the Mets had a winning percentage of .444 (72-90 in 1992, good for fifth place in the NL East).

With Wally as the Mets' primary 2B, the Mets had a winning percentage of .570 (553-417 in 1982, 1984-88, with two NL pennants and a World Series championship).

Fun, huh? Just sayin', 's all...
