In 1984, the Padres reached the World Series for the first time in franchise history. McReynolds along with rookie outfielder Carmelo Martínez was hyped as the M&M Boys after the New York Yankees 1960s power-hitting duo of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. Neither McReynolds nor Martinez were as good as Mantle and Maris, but Mac ended up having a fine career. In 1988 with the Mets, McReynolds hit 27 homers, drove in 99, and stole 21 bases (without being thrown out). He finished third in NL MVP voting behind Kirk Gibson and Darryl Strawberry.
