Congrats David Wright, my 1st Mets jersey as a kid. Remember your debut like it was yesterday, your career mirrored my childhood. Will never be another David Wright, a shame your body robbed you of a Hall of Fame career. FOREVER 5️⃣🧡💙
NO DAVID WRIGHT IS NOT THE ONLY NUMBER 5 THE METS ARE KIND OF MAKING A MISTAKE BY RETIRING THIS NUMBER FOR DAVID WRIGHT ONLY. WHEN DAVEY JOHNSON IS THE OTHER NUMBER 5 THAT DESERVES THE HONOR AS WELL.
The humility of this man is a beautiful thing. I don't think a Met has embraced and represented the orange and blue in a better way then dwright in my lifetime circa 1980. Thanks for everything Mr.Wright. Congrats to you and your family.
"If David Wright stayed healthy" remains one of the big "what ifs" in Mets history, but we were happy to enjoy seeing David play in the time his body allowed him to play.
The best Met I’ve ever watched and was my role model growing up. So happy he got this honor he deserves all the honors one can get with how special of a player and person he is.
It’s amazing to have an owner like Cohen who loves and respects Mets history after years of the wilpons who cared more about the Brooklyn dodgers than the Mets
Congratulations MR. David Wright aka: Captain America Well deserved honor. You truly deserve this special honor. You were truly one of my all time Favorite players ever to wear & play in a Met uniform!! Thank You for being a Great player & for being such a humble person. I'm so grateful that I got the chance to watch you play. I also enjoyed reading your book. I'm also grateful that your #5 jersey will always be enshrined as a true Gentleman & player that will always be a true New York Met to me. Thanks, again for all the great memories.
David Wright is the reason I'm a Mets fan in the first place. As soon as I heard the Mets was going to retire #5 in honor of him, I immediately told my boyfriend we need to go to thag game. I'm looking forward to that game. I can't wait. I just know I'm going to be emotional but David deserves it. I can't see anyone being #5 except for him.
Congratulations to My Captain, Captain America Mr David Wright. I'm really happy to see you play throughout your career and very much appreciate the professionalism, charisma, energy and all the intangibles that only you can bring to the table and to our beloved franchise. Can't wait to be there to see your number next to Keith and all the great Mets. LU Always 💪🏾🧡💙⚾🔥
These Amazin' Conversations with Jay Horwitz are the best. Congratulations, Mr. Wright on this highly honorable number retirement. Very much deserved and I appreciate all you've done for your community and this organization. LGM!
WELL, NUMBER 5 IS ALSO DAVEY JOHNSON'S NUMBER AND THE METS GOTTA RETHINK THIS AND DO A DOUBLE NUMBER RETIREMENT CEREMONY FOR DAVEY JOHNSON AND DAVID WRIGHT.
I could prolly write a book about how much Cap means to me. What i can say is you made me fall in love with the Mets and baseball. Thank you David I’ll be there for the retirement prolly shedding a few tears. #5🙏🏼🤞🏼
david wright isn't the only number 5, the mets should be doing a double number retirement ceremony and retire this number for 2 guys davey johnson is the other.
that is correct but they can't retire number 5 for just david wright what about davey johnson who wore it before him, the mets need to correct this and retire it for both of those 2 guys.
A well-deserved Met player to have his number retired. The what if scenario. What if he continued to play and not have his health condition. 300 plus home runs, maybe 12 or 1300 rbi. We'll never know, but it's fun to speculate. Congratulations, David Wright, you earned this.
It is great that David's number is being retired. He's one of my favorite ever Mets. I also loved him as Malcolm on Malcolm in the Middle. He's quite versatie.
I have been screaming ever since they started talking about the potential for retiring the players numbers they have retired over the last few seasons, and I actually agree with all the numbers they have retired up to today. That said, I also agree with the retiring of Wrights #5, however I feel that #5 should be a "Co-Retire". I don't feel there has ever been a more deserving member of Mets Personnel to have their number retired (Not named Tom Seaver) than The One and Only Davey Johnson. Davey deserves the #5 retired even more than David Wright does, And I say this as a Huge Fan of David Wright. I actually can not believe I haven't heard one single other person bring this up already!
well go through my comments in this video and i keep trying to tell others that number 5 needs to be retired for 2 guys who are davey johnson and david wright. i feel very strongly it should be retired for both of those 2 guys. and i even wrote a letter to the mets to convince them to retire it for both of those 2 guys. it's good that you're feeling strong like i am that it should be retired for both of those 2 guys, but i don't know what's with other mets fans why they feel it should be retired for just 1 when it should be retired for 2.
The Mets are trying to create a history that they simply don't have. The only legit retired # is 41 The next number the Mets will retire will be Dan Reilly's "OO". The original Mr. Met
Just being honest. I was born in 86 and raised on Mets lore. The 2000 loss was terrible. 2015 was bad too. I like Wright as a player, but that era of the late 2000's and 2010's just represents failed potential to me. Teams that should have won a few but didn't get anything. Meh
We had David’s back even when his own back didn’t have him. He’s a special person and so deserving of this honor.
Congrats David Wright, my 1st Mets jersey as a kid. Remember your debut like it was yesterday, your career mirrored my childhood. Will never be another David Wright, a shame your body robbed you of a Hall of Fame career. FOREVER 5️⃣🧡💙
This new ownership is making a mockery of retired numbers. They are literally retiring every good met players number. It's EMBARRASSING
Write them a letter
NO DAVID WRIGHT IS NOT THE ONLY NUMBER 5 THE METS ARE KIND OF MAKING A MISTAKE BY RETIRING THIS NUMBER FOR DAVID WRIGHT ONLY.
WHEN DAVEY JOHNSON IS THE OTHER NUMBER 5 THAT DESERVES THE HONOR AS WELL.
The humility of this man is a beautiful thing. I don't think a Met has embraced and represented the orange and blue in a better way then dwright in my lifetime circa 1980. Thanks for everything Mr.Wright. Congrats to you and your family.
Wright broke into the league when I was 13. He was my favorite player immediately. Dude was such a pro and just an amazing talent.
So happy for a true gentleman and great leader! Well deserved!
Indeed Hut , 1 of a kind .
"If David Wright stayed healthy" remains one of the big "what ifs" in Mets history, but we were happy to enjoy seeing David play in the time his body allowed him to play.
Congratulations captain. Well deserved!
Could have been in Cooperstown as well, had he not been hit with the health issues. 😐 Good on the organization for doing the next best thing.
The best Met I’ve ever watched and was my role model growing up. So happy he got this honor he deserves all the honors one can get with how special of a player and person he is.
THIS IS WRONG IN SOME WAYS BECAUSE DAVEY JOHNSON WORE NUMBER 5 TOO FOR THE METS AND CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE NOT DOING IT FOR HIM ALSO.
It’s amazing to have an owner like Cohen who loves and respects Mets history after years of the wilpons who cared more about the Brooklyn dodgers than the Mets
Congratulations MR. David Wright aka: Captain America

NUMBER 5 IS ALSO DAVEY JOHNSON'S NUMBER AND THE METS SHOULD RETIRE THIS NUMBER FOR 2 GUYS.
Jay and David.. 2 of the classiest men associated with the game of baseball.. congrats captain!

HELLO? DAVEY JOHNSON IS ALSO NUMBER 5 AND THE METS OUGHT TO RETIRE THIS NUMBER FOR 2 GUYS.
Congrats to one of the greatest Mets! Amazing person and role model. Well deserved

We love you, David
Thank you for everything David can’t wait to see you’re number hanging up in the rafters
IT IS ALSO DAVEY JOHNSON'S NUMBER AS WELL AND THE METS OUGHT TO RETIRE THIS NUMBER FOR 2 GUYS.
The Captain, number 5, David Wright. 🧡💙
NO, DAVID WRIGHT IS NOT THE ONLY NUMBER 5 DAVEY JOHNSON IS NUMBER 5 TOO AND THE METS NEED TO RETIRE THIS NUMBER FOR 2 GUYS.
Forever my GOAT my idol played 3rd base in my time because of you absolute legend
David debuted when I was 8 years old. For most of my life he was the Mets! #5 forever
I think David Wright is the Wright man for any Mets job.
The Mets have restored their class and administrative credibility with Steve Cohen and David Stearns
that is correct but they can't retire number 5 for just david wright what about davey johnson who wore it before him,
the mets need to correct this and retire it for both of those 2 guys.
Well deserved David 👏🏽. True Mets fans will always appreciate you. LGM!
We know you physically just could not perform at that level, David. We get it and we all appreciate you, man.
2 all time great Mets - David and Jay
you said 2, what should happen is the mets should retire number 5 for 2 guys, david wright and who wore it before him davey johnson.
A well-deserved Met player to have his number retired. The what if scenario. What if he continued to play and not have his health condition. 300 plus home runs, maybe 12 or 1300 rbi. We'll never know, but it's fun to speculate. Congratulations, David Wright, you earned this.

NO, IT ISN'T JUST DAVID WRIGHT'S NUMBER, IT'S DAVEY JOHNSON'S NUMBER ALSO AND THE METS HAVE TO RETIRE IT FOR HIM ALSO.
D W!!! Metsie for Life. Congrats. LGM
Well deserved Captain America💙🧡
Grew up in the shadow of Gooden and Strawberry. David Wright is Mr. Met. Looking forward to seeing #5 in the rafters July 19th. 💙🧡
idiot, number 5 should be in the rafters for davey johnson also.
He should always be remembered as WBC's Captain America too !
100% all in for the Captain. Doc and Darryl were our guys but didn’t deserve the retirement of the jersey. David wright ABSOLUTELY does
DAVEY JOHNSON WHO WORE NUMBER 5 BEFORE DAVID WRIGHT ABSOLUTELY DESERVES THE NUMBER RETIREMENT IN ADDITION TO DAVID WRIGHT.
Nice
I have been screaming ever since they started talking about the potential for retiring the players numbers they have retired over the last few seasons, and I actually agree with all the numbers they have retired up to today.

well go through my comments in this video and i keep trying to tell others that number 5 needs to be retired for 2 guys who are davey johnson and david wright.
i feel very strongly it should be retired for both of those 2 guys.
and i even wrote a letter to the mets to convince them to retire it for both of those 2 guys.
it's good that you're feeling strong like i am that it should be retired for both of those 2 guys, but i don't know what's with other mets fans why they feel it should be retired for just 1 when it should be retired for 2.
@ I love this Bobby O! 😊
Steve Cohen is good for new york baseball
The Kid is in the Hall put his number on the wall.
yeah number 8 should be retired for gary carter and not only that number 5 should be retired for davey johnson in addition to david wright.
NO NUMBER 5 CAN'T BE RETIRED FOR DAVID WRIGHT ONLY THE METS NEED TO DO A DOUBLE RETIREMENT CEREMONY AND HAVE IT RETIRED FOR DAVEY JOHNSON ALSO.
The Mets are trying to create a history that they simply don't have. The only legit retired # is 41
The next number the Mets will retire will be Dan Reilly's "OO". The original Mr. Met
