David Wright’s childhood friend Cuddyer dishes on deep bond

Michael Cuddyer still considers his one season in a Mets uniform as a career highlight that was as much about a special teammate as it was reaching the World Series.

A childhood friend of David Wright’s from Chesapeake, Va., who signed with the Mets before the 2015 season, Cuddyer will watch with a sense of fulfillment for Wright in his return to third base for a final start on Saturday.

“All parties involved kind of need that day to celebrate what David has meant to that organization and to that city,” Cuddyer told The Post on Friday.
