I agree with this statement, with the exception being the 1986 Mets.

By the way, Bob Welch has a great career winning percentage and had many 17 + W seasons.

John Cassidy hit .378 in 1877, never hit higher than .277 in any of his other ten seasons, .246 career hitter

Gotta love Ned Williamson's 1884 season with 27 homeruns. He ended up with 64 homeruns, never reaching double figures during any of his other 12 seasons.

I guess a 186 foot LF fence and an 1884 rule change making balls hit over the fence HRs instead of ground rule doubles had a hand in this, but his is still pretty ridiculous stat line to look at.

I just want to add that of Williamson's 27 home runs, 26 were hit at home, only 1 on the road.
