HaHa.....Doug was my hero growing up as a Met fan!!! He still is the only 2b to win a gold glove for the mets......you wanna talk about all field no hit!!!! He was a horror at the plate!!! 7 carear HR i believe and a 240 average!!!! But name the only Met with 3 triples in a game???? not Reyes!! Mr Flynn......and he had a sheepdog named Woody!!!!!

many baseball fans would not agree with me. but doug flynn is one of the best ever in baseball to play secound base. theres been a lot of great 2nd basemen in the history of baseball. but if i were told which 2nd baseman would i pick to learn the postion. i would pick doug flynn to teach me.

@discotime79 I don't know about one of best ever, but Flynn was an outstanding infielder with a gun for an arm, Second Base and Shortstop. He played on a bad Mets team and won a gold glove at 2B, when he played every day his defense was hard to ignore.
