Legend

[@anthonytripp2251]

He stunk up the Mets

[@MikeRay1978]

And they got all of him. He didn’t do much for the Mets after.

[@Diggerdog2nd]

Yeah he was on his way to a HOF career & had several great years especially 76,77,78 even 79 & 80 he was on pace for another great year but later just became a good player. Too bad. He was top's for a while.

52 HRs in 1977 is like 92 in 1997. In the late 70s and early 80s, having two 40 HR hitters in the same league was rare. From 75 to 86, if I remember correctly(I am getting old 😔), the only league to have two 40 HR hitters was the year Foster hit 52. Players like Foster, Dale Murphy, Dave Kingman and even Greg Luzinski are so underrated because they played in the era right before Home Runs exploded. I'd argue three of the four I mentioned deserve to be HOFfers.
