While debating who should be the Mets lead-off hitter, it should be noted the Mets haven’t always gone the traditional route.  In fact, over the team’s 55 year history, they have gone in a number of directions.  Can you name all of the players who have hit lead-off on Opening Day for the Mets?  Good luck!
