Thursday afternoon will go down as one of those days that many New York Mets fans will remember for the rest of their lives. It was the day that David Wright finally addressed his official exit from the game.
Wright, a lifelong Met and the fourth captain in the team’s history, has spent the majority of his last few seasons on the bench due to injury. Because of that, Wright’s baseball journey is coming to a close.
Wright wore his emotions on his sleeve during the press conference on Thursday and if it wasn’t clear before, it certainly became clear as the tears rolled down his face that this might be the hardest thing he would have to do.
