The 1996 New York Mets didn’t win too many games, but there were some notable offensive performances resulting in new franchise records.
The 1996 MLB season was an important one in my life. It was the first year I started following baseball. I had the 1996 version of Strat-O-Matic which I loved to play as often as possible.
