Baseball Players who Played for Mets and Giants
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Mets and the Giants.
Jeff Kent
Jeff Kent was a powerhouse from 1992 to 2008. Like me, most of you probably think of him as a San Francisco Giant, but Kent also played for the Mets, Dodgers, Astros, Indians (now Guardians) and Blue Jays.
A second baseman with serious pop in his bat, Kent earned the MVP title in 2000 with the Giants. He had 33 home runs that year with 125 RBIs.
Over his career, he hit over 370 home runs, racked up more than 1,500 RBIs, and had an impressive 560 doubles. Kent was selected for the All-Star game five times.
Darryl Strawberry
Darryl Strawberry, who played from 1983 to 1999, is most recognized for his time as an outfielder with the New York Mets and the New York Yankees.
Strawberry had a powerful career, notching 1000 RBIs, 335 home runs, and a .259 career batting average. An eight-time All-Star (Mets, Dodgers), he was named the National League’s Rookie of the Year in 1983 (Mets). Strawberry’s best season might have been 1987, when he hit 39 home runs with 104 RBIs and a .284 batting average.
Despite battling personal issues off the field, Strawberry was part of three World Series-winning teams, showcasing his ability to perform at the highest level.
Carlos Beltran
Carlos Beltran is a 9-time all-star who played an incredible 20 years in major league baseball. Over his 20-year career, he played for 7 different teams – 2 of which were the Royals and the Mets.
Beltran also played for the New York Yankees, St Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros, Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants – making him an extremely versatile Immaculate Grid answer.
