Capitalism

RFK Stadium (known as D.C. Stadium from 1962 to 1969), where the Mets just made their final appearances, hosted major league baseball 1962-1971 and then 2005-2007. Frank Howard, who briefly managed the Mets and coached for them for 6 seasons, hit more than twice as many homers at RFK than anyone else.
Most career homers hit in RFK Stadium:
1. Frank Howard 116
2. Don Lock 51
3. Ken McMullen 47
4. Mike Epstein 35
5. Jim King 32
6. Chuck Hinton 27
7. Harmon Killebrew 25
8. Alfonso Soriano 24
9. Paul Casanova 23
10. Boog Powell 22
Ryan Zimmerman has 21 homers at RFK and could still move into the top ten in the last few games left before MLB leaves RFK.

Most homers by a Met at RFK:
Carlos Beltran 7
David Wright 4
Shawn Green 3
