I must admit that David Wright is my all-time favorite Mets player. I don’t mean that as a backhanded insult, even though I’m having trouble thinking of who my second-favorite Met is. (I can think of former Mets players that I admire, but I associate them more with other teams they played for than the Mets.) But I couldn’t help but admire Wright’s all-around game and his attitude on and off the field. He was also “Captain America” for Team USA in the 2013 World Baseball Classic.
- The Mets announced on Thursday that third baseman David Wright will be activated from the disabled list on September 25 and will start on September 29.
