Best Of David Wright

Its a sad day for Mets fans, but we all knew it was coming. In a press conference held early Wednesday, the Mets announced that David Wright would be activated for the final homestand of the season. It starts September 25th vs the Braves and concludes September 30th vs the Marlins. The final time in which Mets fans get to see the captain in uniform. The team has already announced the Wright will play 3rd base for the final time on Saturday September 29th. It will be the final start of his career, one in which he has been the face of the Mets franchise since he came into the big leagues.

Wright is the team leader in every offensive category except batting average (3rd), triples (T-8th), stolen bases (4th) and on base percentage (4th). He's the king of the record books for this team. It sucks to see the way his career has gone down. Here's a look back at some of the best moments of David's career.

Starting it off was July 22nd, 2004  when David cracked his first big league hit:


We'll get back to more moments with the bat in a bit, but we wanna show off his defense a little. Like on August 9th of 2005 when he did this against the Padres:


OK now back to the offense we go. May 19th 2006, subway series. It was a wild night in Queens with the Captain capping it off.


Then we get to the two most emotional at bats he's had. First up was what kick started the captains return back in the Magical year of 2015. It was August 24th in Philadelphia, David announced he was back in a big way.


Finally, we move to October 30th of the same year, in game three of the World Series, Wright showed the home crowd just how much it meant to him playing in the fall classic.


It really sucks to see a guy who has done so much for this Mets franchise have his career wind down the way it has. It would have been even sweeter had the team been able to beat the Royals in 2015, but they won tow division titles and made it to the NCLS twice and fall classic once during Wrights career. He may not be headed to Cooperstown but will without a doubt be heading into the Mets hall of fame and should have his number retired when all is said and done.

So thanks for the Memories David, we look forward to the final game on September 29th., Hopefully it can give Mets fans like me one final thrill.
