The closest David Wright ever came to ending the New York Mets MVP drought was in 2007. A year that included 30 home runs, 107 RBI, and a .325/.416/.546 batting line featured a fourth-place finish in the MVP vote.

There was no shortage of honors for Wright that year. He did take home a Silver Slugger and Gold Glove.
