Keith Hernandez played 95 games with that 83 Mets team. Dwight Gooden arrived in 1984. In my opinion, he was just as important to the Mets turnaround. He won ROY and finished 2nd in CY Young voting. Hernandez and Gooden had similar WAR. Hernandez higher on Baseball Reference, Gooden higher on Fan Graphics.
