The 2023 World Baseball Classic is just about in full swing. There’s plenty of Mets nostalgia to go around for everyone. It’s already included Ruben Tejada highlights and a matchup between Matt Harvey and Yoenis Cespedes. But, of course, whenever we talk about the Mets and the WBC, we have to talk about David Wright.
After all, his performance during the tournament is how he earned his “Captain America” nickname, ya know.
On March 9th, 2013, Wright and Team USA faced Team Italy. The game was tied at two in the fifth inning as the third baseman stepped up to the plate with the bases juiced.
