Moments like these were common occurrences for Pat Burrell. Like many Mets killers, Burrell was an above-average player, but he wasn’t an All-Star caliber player. He spent most of his career as power-hitting left fielder.
However, he was a different beast when he faced the Mets. Burrell played exactly 162 games against the Mets in his career and boy did he kill them. He hit .245/.358/.517 with 42 home runs, 20 doubles, two triples, and 106 runs batted in. Burrell always found a new way to torment the Mets. Whether it was late-inning home runs, or simply getting on base to start a rally.
