The best New York Mets player of the 2010’s was Jacob deGrom.
I walked you through the numbers yesterday, and you like me watched the team all decade long.
Yes we all love David Wright, and I am not taking away anything from the runner up Player of the Decade David Wright, nor do I have receny bias.
Let me ask you this. You need to win one game.
There was a time when the answer would be Tom Seaver. Then Gooden. Then Piazza.
In the 2010s, if you needed to win one game – and factor in DW at his healthiest most prime most clutch – who are you counting on.
I’m handing the ball to JDG for the shutout and hoping he can pop one.
This guy is special. The Mets have done a great job keeping him in Queens. Now that the Mets retire numbers there’s a decent chance there is a 48 on the fence of the Wilpon Dome someday (you do realize we’re already almost halfway through the lifespan of Citi Field, right?)
Congratulations Jacob deGrom!
