Looking at LI Duck Ray Navarrete’s batting numbers, it wouldn’t be a poor decision to hunt down his rookie card immediately: 106 runs, 164 hits, 25 home runs and 96 RBIs, for a batting average of .309 and an on base percentage of .403. That’s higher than virtually anyone on the Mets’ roster. Don’t be surprised if you see him lighting up the ESPN highlight reels in the years to come.
2nd Place - Joe Valentine – 3 Courthouse Dr., Central Islip. 631-940-DUCK. www.liducks.com

His first season with the Ducks, Valentine went 4-2 and became a starter for the Ducks in the 2008 season. Joe makes it into this year’s list at the number two LI Duck but as a Long Island native, and Joe is amazing at his game.
