      As a Yankee fan, you not mentioning Mattingly is a crime. Mattingly in his prime was far better than Wright and a bit better that Tulo. He had 4 years in a row and 5 out of 6 were he was one of the best players in baseball. He hit 30 to 35 HR 3 years in a row when hitting 20 was a lot. 6 years in a row of 186 to 238 hits. And one year, he had 145 rbis. And never struck out more than 43 times in a year. Then a bad back sapped him of most of his power the rest of his career, and he had to retire early.

Little things that you take for granted like taking a shower, putting your pants, shoes, and walking is all miserable with pain. As a NY Mets fans it’s hard to see such an amazing player and leader succumb to these injuries. Hopefully the Mets will keep him on as a coach. He would be a great future NY Mets manager,

    Those goddamn spine/back injuries are career-killers. Christian Yelich is still fighting through them. Don Mattingly is another one who was cut down in his prime. Ralph Kiner would be in the 500-HR club if his back held up.
    David Wright would have finished as the greatest Mets position player of all time and made the HOF if not for the back. He was special. I was just playing the old MLB 07 game for the PSP last month. Who was on the cover? David Wright. Not a predictor for all-time greatness, but it reminds you how big the guy was at one point. I wish he could've got a ring. Got close.

    Those late aughts Mets teams were so fun but woefully underperformed. Reyes, Beltrán, Delgado, and Wright were an absolutely stacked top 4. All four of those dudes had serious HOF potential. But the Mets are gonna Mets.

    Back injury is the worst. It ended Tiger Woods' and Don Mattingly's careers too.

    David Wright is how everyone viewed Jeter with the Yankees except Wright is 100000x the person and teammate that Jeter could ever even dream of being.

    As much as I dislike the Mets as a Braves fan, I always dug Wright even when he would make us look like chumps sometimes. Sad how injuries did him in.
