It’s a landslide victory for David Wright when ranking the best third basemen in New York Mets history. A problematic position in the franchise’s history in more ways than one, he was the answer for more than a decade. It was only a matter of time before the organization retired his number 5. Regarded as the second best Mets player behind only Tom Seaver, there’s a whole different question we can ask about his placement in MLB history.
Arguments in favor of Wright becoming a Hall of Famer one day aren’t too outlandish, but may be a bit biased.
