Second Thoughts

Some media attention tonight went to the new season record for homers by a Reds second baseman set by Brandon Phillips in the game against the Mets this afternoon. Phillips hit his 28th homer for the season, breaking Joe Morgan's old record. Here are the top home run seasons by a Mets second baseman:

1. Edgardo Alfonzo (1999) 27 homers
2. Edgardo Alfonzo (2000) 25 homers
3. Jeff Kent (1995) 20 homers
4. Jeff Kent (1993) 19 homers
T5. Jose Valentin (2006)/Edgardo Alfonzo 2001 17 homers

The list above includes only homers hit as a second baseman, so in some cases will not match the player's full season homer total.
