Who's Number One?

MBTN readers rock! Check out the photo here from Richard from Dix Hills, who was down at Lake Buena Vista this afternoon and delivered this heartwarming photo of Mookie Wilson back wearing the number God intended for him. As everyone knows, No. 1 has been occupied for more than three years by Luis Castillo, whose departure Friday caused some mixed feeling here. And let's face it, the idea he had somehow usurped Mookie's birthright was one of the reasons so few were sad to see him go.

But let's be fair to Castillo for a change and acknowledge that while he'll never go down as anyone's favorite No. 1, he stuck around long enough and accomplished in sufficient enough quantities to rank higher than most others who have shared the No. 1 jersey. Would you believe that as we approach 50 seasons of Mets history, only Mookie has appeared in more games wearing No. 1? Castillo's.274 career batting average with the Mets trails only Lance Johnson's .326, Richie Ashburn's .306 and Mookie's own .276 among all players to wear No.1 for the Mets. Here's how it all shakes out among the top No. 1s in Mets history, ranked by games played in the jersey -- Vince Coleman's 1993 wearing No. 11 doesn't count:

Player Seasons G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SB BA
Mookie Wilson 1980-89 1116 4027 592 1112 170 62 60 342 240 281 .276

Charley Smith 1964-65 262 942 93 228 32 3 36 120 36 4 .242
Lance Johnson 1996-97 232 947 160 309 41 27 10 93 66 65 .326
Jerry Buchek 1967-68 197 603 43 132 15 2 15 52 36 4 .219
Vince Coleman 1991-92 143 507 82 134 18 6 3 38 66 61 .264
Richie Ashburn 1962 135 389 60 119 7 3 7 28 81 12 .306
Ed Bressoud 1966 133 405 48 91 15 5 10 49 47 2 .225
Bobby Valentine 1977-78 111 243 25 46 6 3 0 10 11 1 .189

 

I think that as time passes,

I think that as time passes, Castillo's stint with the Mets can be viewed more objectively.

Now...

Apparently headed to Philly where I'm sure he'll terrorize us like he used to with Florida.

Well, I think this story just

Well, I think this story just proves the fact that time always determines what, or who is the best or the most deserving at anything. Thank you for your thoughts and I nope to read more about him soon.
