NEW YORK -- All told, the Mets' National League championship rings tipped the scales at 2.75 carats, including 110 diamonds and 42 round sapphires shaped into an NY logo. Privately and without much pomp or circumstance, the Mets received them Thursday in a "small, intimate" clubhouse gathering at Citi Field.
"All of us will wear that proudly," third baseman David Wright said. "But at the same time, it's time to move on. After we get the rings, it's officially last year. We need to start worrying about this year."
While second-place rings have become a trend in baseball, the Mets are not willing to consider theirs much more than a reminder that last year's club left plenty unaccomplished.
