This is definitely the brightest moment in the short season for the Mets, and for Wright personally. And throughout the rest of the season, Wright will continue to walk the political line and say how he does not care about individual performances and records, that he just wants to see this organization win.
But this is something he should relish. He has been through a lot with this club. The ups and the downs. Both as a team and for him as a player. He began his career on fire, an all-star, the toast of New York City. But then losing began to set in. Then the injuries. And now Wright will constantly be bothered about his contract and his future with the Mets.
Wright needs to continue to smash the baseball all over the park, keep extending this record and work on breaking others. Make the front office realize what type of colossal mistake it would be to let the man of the franchise get away. The money will come for Wright, regardless of how the rest of the season plays out, but needs to force the Mets hand and make them pay him.
Congratulations to #5. Job well done. Well deserved.
