The model player with amazing production and clutch hitting, a rock that you build on with not an ounce of arrogance. I wish he was on the Mets now. All time Mets great, I hope one day he is the manager, a true Met.
People who say he doesn’t deserve it, for a decade he was the premier 3rd baseman in the National League. His impact off the field meant more than his play on the field. No ego, and always a leader, that goes beyond numbers. He deserves this for being a “great Met” in more than statistics.
I seem to vaguely recall a parody song, about the littany of third basemen the Mets went through before David Wright. (It's somewhere in deep storage in the brain housing group) D. Wright held it down. Perfect mentor for Mark Vientos. Thanks David.
I wish Pete would’ve accepted the extension he was given back in 23 and stayed with the Mets long term. The Mets, my hometown team and favorite sports team of all time, deserve to win and they deserve to win with Pete. We should’ve won with David, but it is what it is and David’s a fantastic liaison for the Mets as we move forward as fans who want to desperately win the chip
He was better than Jeter. One of the best 3B in the game. Injury a bit early is the only reason he won't make the HOF but he wasn't even kicked out on the first ballot
@@hmmmmmmminteresting Jeter played longer, had a much bigger impact because of that. I agree that Wright was an excellent player, but I don't know that he was that much better than Jeter.
My man!! The definition of a true baseball player. Respect Captain.
TY Captain!!!!!

No person more deserving to have #5 retired! TY David Wright.
Best met player of all time. My first Mets jersey also.

CLASS-THE CAPTIAN"
Will be at the 5 jersey retirement game!
""Captain Amazin""
Ozempic?
Dude was and still is “Mr Met.” I say they should retire John Franco’s number next.
There should be no more retirements for 20 years. It's only being done for cash grabs to sell tickets.
Cap!
Above average player getting his number retired…NY Mets= clowns 🤡
You obviously have no clue! Probably a bitter yankee fan or braves just nervous about the Mets. 😅
@ 🤡 😂😂😂
Mets don't have a lot of generational players. Wright was pretty solid....not sure his number should be retired, though.

Well deserved Captain Class🫡. Why do i feel like Wright would be a really good commissioner
