Since his Major League debut on July 21, 2004, David Wright had been a cornerstone of New York Mets baseball for more than a decade before his playing career came to a premature end during the 2018 season because of back, neck and shoulder injuries.
For the last two injury-ridden seasons of his amazin’ career, there is no denying the indelible mark that Wright made on this team, the fan base, and most of all, me after being the face of this franchise for the last fourteen years.
