Very Catchy

Most Games Played As Catcher for the Mets in One Season:
1. Todd Hundley (1996) 150
2. Gary Carter (1985) 143
3. John Stearns (1978) 141
4/5. Mike Piazza (1999)/ Gary Carter (1987) 137

The capacity to play many games behind the plate in a single season must be genetic -- compare the top of the preceding list with the top of the next list:
