Thanks all!

Answer 1

1985 Yankees

CF Henderson

LF Griffey, Sr

1B Mattingly

RF Winfield

DH Baylor

2B Randolph

C   Wynegar

3B Pagliarulo

SS Meacham  

Answer 2

1986 Mets:

CF-Lenny Dykstra/Mookie Wilson

2B-Wally Backman/Tim Teufel

1B-Keith Hernandez

C-Gary Carter

RF-Darryl Strawberry

LF-Kevin Mitchell*

3B-Ray Knight/Howard Johnson

SS-Rafael Santana

P-Dwight Gooden

* George Foster played LF until he was released in August 1986 for being a horse's ***, and during his tenure he was as useful as a kidney stone.

The lineup varied a little from '85 to '89 until they traded Nails for another kidney stone, Juan Samuel.

By the way, I always loved the Yankees lineup from the '80's as well.
