David Wright, a Met for Life, finally gets his number retired. Is this overdue recognition for a franchise icon, or are the Mets simply catching up on honoring their legends? Considering his injury-shortened career, does Wright's jersey retirement solidify his legacy, or does it open a debate about what constitutes a Hall of Fame-worthy Met? Where does Wright rank among the all-time Mets greats? Is he a top 3 player, or does the shortened career put him further down the list? With Wright joining an exclusive club alongside Seaver, Strawberry, and Gooden, does this retirement spark a conversation about future Mets jersey retirements? Who's next? Is it time for a Piazza or Hernandez statue at Citi Field? This ceremony feels like a celebration of not just Wright's career, but also a pivotal moment in Mets history. Let the debates begin!
