David Wright takes his emotional Mets curtain call
Modal Trigger
David Wright waves to the crowd during his final MLB game.The final game of David Wright’s career was without a storybook ending, but that didn’t take away from the emotion of it all for the Mets third baseman.
Wright exited the game against the Marlins at Citi Field to a standing ovation in the top of the fifth inning Saturday night with the game scoreless. He went 0-for-1 with a walk – his final at-bat was a soft pop out to first to lead off the bottom of the fourth.
Before manager Mickey Callaway officially replaced Wright with Amed Rosario, an emotional Mets captain hugged longtime teammate Jose Reyes – who moved from shortstop to third base.
