How about the model for today's ball player - Dave Kingman. 1,800 K's, 1,500 hits.
Cleon.
And I volunteer to walk him to his car this time.
Gilkey had the one big year. 117 RBIs. Automatically my favorite LF.
MCReynolds was great on balls in the corner, gunning guys down at 2B. Add in a good bat...and well utilized decent speed...got him at #2
How about my first ever favorite LFer, George Arthur Foster. Still remember his first commercial for the Mets, in a high pitched voice from a guy so small, I couldn’t believe he hit 52 HRs the year before: “Hi, I’m George Foster. I’d like to show you my stuff”, as he half swung a bat and ended it pointed right to the camera.
Frank Thomas worked hard (along with Richie Ashburn) on a team where most threw in the towel (often not landing in the intended direction).
Cleon. He could hit, run, and play defense. One of my favorite all-time Mets.
No one really stands out, though I agree McReynolds deserves more praise than most fans typically grant.
Cliff Floyd and Cleon Jones for me.
George Foster wasn’t bad with the Mets. Before that, with the Reds, he was pretty great.
