From The Met Wiki

Don Hahn was an outfielder for the Mets from 1971 to 1974. He played in 318 games and batted .236 with the team. Hahn was primarily a center fielder for the Mets.

Hahn came to New York from the Montreal Expos in a trade for Ron Swoboda on March 31, 1971. In his first season as a Met, he had 42 hits in 98 games played. Don drove in two runs with a single and a sacrifice fly in a 6-0 Mets win at Los Angeles on August 16. On September 5, he hit his first major league home run at Philadelphia.

Hahn spent most of the 1972 season in the minor leagues and appeared in only 17 games with the Mets. In 1973, he became the Mets' regular center fielder in the team's drive to the National League East Division title and eventual World Series appearance. Don was involved in a brutal outfield collision with George Theodore on July 7 in which both players were taken out on stretchers. He recovered from this experience without missing playing time. Hahn hit a three-run homer in the Mets' 12-1 win over the Reds at Shea Stadium on August 18. At Shea on August 27, he got four singles in the Mets' 6-5 win over the Padres. Don also got a run-scoring triple in Game 5 of the World Series against the Athletics to help the Mets to a 2-0 win on October 18.

Hahn hit .251 in 110 games for the Mets in 1974. He hit a home run in the Mets' 6-3 win at Chicago on May 11. At Shea on June 1, Don led off the game with a triple and scored to propel the Mets to a 4-1 win over the Astros. On August 9, he hit a three-run homer in the Mets' 4-1 win over the Reds at Shea.

On December 3, 1974, Hahn was traded with Dave Schneck and Tug McGraw to the Philadelphia Phillies for John Stearns, Del Unser and Mac Scarce. In the 1975 season, he played in a total of 50 games for the Phillies, Cardinals and Padres to conclude his career.
