Today is poised to be one of the most emotional days in New York Mets history. David Wright is set to make the final appearance of his career, getting the start tonight at third base in front of a sold-out Citi Field crowd that will assuredly drown him in much-deserved appreciation all night long. His daughter will throw out the first pitch to his father. There will be video tributes. He will make a speech after the game. Everyone’s emotions will be in shambles by the second inning.
Today is also David Wright day here at Amazin’ Avenue, in case you haven’t noticed.
