There's More to the Yanks & Mets Than Big Bats
Yes, the Yankees and Mets ranked among the league leaders in team doubles, homers and extra-base hits. But there's more to the two New York clubs than their power-laden lineups.
In 2006, the Mets and Yankees finished at the top of the major league leader board in team stolen-base percentage. The Mets ranked second in the majors with 146 steals, but first with an 80.7-percent success rate. Second in the majors were the Yankees at 79.9 percent. They were successful 139 times in 174 attempts.
