Lynchburg Mets
December 27, 2015
The Lynchburg Mets were a Class-A farm club of the New York Mets for 12 seasons. This included a stretch in the early 1980’s when the Mets boasted one of the richest farm systems in Major League Baseball. The L-Mets won back-to-back Carolina League crowns in 1983 and 1984 and produced four straight Carolina League Most Valuable Players during the middle of the decade: Lenny Dykstra (’83), Barry Lyons (’84), Shawn Abner (’85) & Gregg Jeffries (’86).
