THE SEASON STORY
There was a new slugger in town, and he broke the Mets’ all-time record for homeruns in a season that had stood since 1962: Dave Kingman, who was purchased around the beginning of Spring Training for $150,000. He also led the team in stolen bases with 7, as the New Yorkers drifted back into their station-to-station strategy. Not only the Mets HR record fell; Rusty Staub tallied the most RBI ever for a Met, too, crossing the 100-RBI barrier for the first time. Felix Millan established new team highs for games, at-bats, hits, and doubles. And steady Eddie Kranepool had his finest season in the bigs, batting .323 for the year. Tom Seaver won his third Cy Young award with another brilliant season, and Matlack and Koosman were their typical rocks. Not one, but two pitchers had an ERA of 1.49 out of the New York bullpen: Bob Apodaca and Skip Lockwood. All told, a solid season and a return to a winning record.
