[1998 Yankees]

These were the choices for Mr. Met:

Mike Piazza: Piazza, who played eight seasons for the Mets, is known as arguably the best hitting catcher of all-time. His 396 home runs as a catcher ranks as the best in baseball history. Piazza was the 1993 National League Rookie of the Year with the Los Angeles Dodgers and went on to become a 12-time All-Star. He had a .308 career batting average and was a 10-time Silver Slugger Award winner. Piazza helped lead the Mets to the 2000 World Series, but his team lost in five games.

Jose Reyes: Reyes, currently the starting shortstop for the Mets, has played in New York since he reached the Major Leagues in 2003. He's the Mets' all-time leader in runs scored, triples, stolen bases and has been one of the organization's top defensive players. Reyes led the Majors in triples in 2005, 2006 and 2008 and the National League in stolen bases in 2005, 2006 and 2007. He has been named to the All-Star game three times and won the 2007 Silver Slugger Award.

Dwight Gooden: Gooden, called up by the Mets in 1984 at the age of 19, was an instant star for New York. In his first season, he went 17-9 with a 2.60 ERA and was named the National League Rookie of the Year. But Gooden's success didn't end there. He went on to win 194 games while boasting a 3.51 ERA with 2,293 strikeouts. Gooden was a three-time World Series Champion (including a 1986 title with the Mets), a four-time All-Star and the 1985 National League Cy Young Award winner.

Tom Seaver: Over a 20-year career – ten seasons with the Mets – Seaver retired in 1986 as one of the greatest starting pitchers of his generation. He finished with 311 wins, 3,640 strikeouts, a 2.86 earned run average and 61 shutouts. Seaver was the 1967 National League Rookie of the Year, a three-time NL Cy Young Award Winner and a 12-time all-star. His most memorable season came in 1969, as Seaver and the Mets won their first World Series title. That year he won a 25 games (tops in the Major Leagues), his first Cy Young Award and was runner up to Willie McCovey for the NL MVP.

Darryl Strawberry: During his 17-year career, Strawberry proved the Mets correct in taking him No. 1 overall in the 1980 Draft. The 6-foot-6 right fielder finished with 335 career home runs and 1,000 RBI. Strawberry was named the 1983 Rookie of the Year and was selected to the All-Star game eight-consecutive years from 1984-1991. He helped lead the Mets to the 1986 World Series Championship and also won with the New York Yankees in 1996, 1998, 1999.

And in the final tally, Tom Seaver blew everybody else away. Congratulations to Mr. Met, Tom Seaver!
