The '98 Yanks offense >> the '86 Mets offense, however. .263/.339/.401 for the '86 Mets .288/.364/.460 for our boys No contest, even taking the different offensive eras into account. The lowest OBP for any Yanks with over 300 PAs was Posada, at .350. Meanwhile, the Mets played Rafael Santana and his .295 OBP in 137 games. I'd like to see William give this his full "Color by Numbers" treatment. I'm sure there's more nuggets to be found!
