THE SEASON STORY
The New Yorkers followed up their World Championship season with a year that was pretty good, but 1969 was a tough act to follow. Tom Seaver fell from 25-7 to a still-respectable 18-12; Jerry Koosman likewise slipped, from 17-9 to 12-7. The rest of the staff was cumulatively underwater. The men with the bats in their hands were dominated by four: Art Shamsky, Donn Clendenon, Tommie Agee, and Cleon Jones-—four names that figured prominently in the ’69 championship as well. Clendenon in particular had a stunning season: In only 396 at-bats, he drove in 97 runs, which would be the Mets’ highest mark for several years to come. Tommie Agee became the first Met to crack the 30-stolen base ceiling, while Bud Harrelson broke new ground with an astonishing 95 bases on balls. Agee also set club records for at-bats, runs, hits, total bases, and on the negative side of the ledger, strikeouts and times caught stealing. All in all, a fine season; he also won his second Gold Glove award-—his first had come in 1966 with the White Sox.
