The Mets' 11-game winning streak has brought up memories of two other seasons in which they had such a streak - 1969 and 1986. But it's still hard to compare the 2015 Mets with the legends of the past. The Mets' 13-3 record ties the '86 Mets for the best Mets start ever. But when the '86 Mets beat Atlanta on April 30, 1986 to reach 13-3, here was their lineup, along with their batting averages at the time:
Lenny Dykstra .327
Wally Backman .371
Keith Hernandez .303
Darryl Strawberry .313
Gary Carter .
