Getting right to it...
Damion Easley's inside-the-park HR was indeed the 24th in Mets history
* 10 at home, 14 on the road
* 23 different players. The only one with 2 is Darryl Strawberry
* Most is: 5 against the Phillies, 4 against the Reds
* First was by Gil Hodges, May 16, 1962 against the Cubs at the Polo Grounds
* First at Shea was by Ron Hunt, June 5, 1966 against the Dodgers (Game 1 of doubleheader against Sandy Koufax, while trailing 15-2)
* There have been 2 inside-the-park HR to come in walk-off wins.
May 16, 1962- Gil Hodges vs Cubs (Felix Mantilla walk-off hit)
June 11, 2005- Marlon Anderson vs Angels (Cliff Floyd walk-off HR)
* Mets who have had a walk-off HR and an inside-the-park HR: Darryl Strawberry, Dave Kingman, Gil Hodges, Howard Johnson, Kevin Elster, Lee Mazzilli and Steve Henderson
* Most HR by a Met who never hit an inside-the-park HR, Mike Piazza, 220, Todd Hundley, 124
* Seasons with more than one: 1962, 1979, 1980, 1982, 2006, all with 2

Obviously Marlon was June 2005, not 1962. In an amazing coincidence, I decided to watch the highlight of that HR yesterday morning. You should too! (Video link on that page)
fixed, thanks. seen it many times.
Of course you have, that's a memorable Met Walkoff (as if there were another kind!) "You" was for anybody else who reads the comments.
Been a long time since I watched that. That was a nice memory.

I can't believe Strawberry is the only guy with 2. Reyes will beat that before he's done.
