On Sept. 29, after more than two years away from a big league diamond, David Wright will return to the Mets one last time in front of what will surely be a packed house at Citi Field. The longtime face of the franchise will end his 14-year career as one of the greatest players to ever wear blue and orange, and one of the most-beloved.
Wright's career was cut short by injuries, his health issues in recent seasons stemming from the spinal stenosis he could only do his best to manage. But at his peak, he was one of the best players in the world.
