NEW YORK -- In longtime friend and former teammate Michael Cuddyer's estimation, Saturday was akin to David Wright's wedding day.
"You don't really remember it," Cuddyer said hours before Wright took the field for the first time since 2016. "You've got to look at the pictures."
When Wright does, whether in a day or a decade, he will see snapshots of both his life and career. He will be alone, charging out to third base, tapping the bag and saluting the crowd. He will be embraced, toting his two-year-old daughter, Olivia Shea, in his arms after catching her ceremonial first pitch.
