. In 1990, Clint Hurdle led the team back to the playoffs for the last time. Todd
Hundley hit .265 with only 1 HR, and Pete Schourek (11-4, 3.04) and Eric Hillman
(6-5, 3.93) led the Mets on the mound, along with Anthony Young (15-3, 1.65).
Anthony Young would go on to set a Major League record with 27 consecutive loses
without a win over 2 Major League seasons with the Mets. Amazingly his ERA
during that time was around 4.00… which says more about the hitting than AY's pitching.
It was the end of an era in Jackson. The Mets wanted their Double-A team
closer to home and chose Binghamton NY to build a new stadium, after making
a temporary stop in Williamsport in 1991. |
