David is one of the greatest Mets ever. He was a consummate professional. Would also have been a HOF if disease hadn't robbed years off his career.

[@johncummings5350]

He wasn't robbed.....he was blessed with talent and had a nice career and made the loot. He's healthy today and living the life. He will likely coach or manage when his kids grow up.

[@emmanuelwood8702]

He would have played till he was 40 and the mets probably would have got a championship with him on the team . Thats what was robbed the opportunities . @@johncummings5350

[@RobertMcGill]

David looks like he can still play. I hate it that his career was cut short due to injuries.

[@lordtwisted4216]

He was a future 1st ballot HOFer. I do hope he gets in someday.

[@emmanuelwood8702]

It was disease, not injury. He has a spine condition that was unknown till late in his career. He tried playing through it which speaks to who David is. Had he kept playing he could have ended up paralyzed.

[@explosivediarrhea4671]

Hopefully David can announce he’s coming back and he’s with the Mets by the allstar break

Their chemistry, and mutual respect is legit

I wanna cry 😭. Lindor is my fav player and when he signed with the Mets I lost it. I hope I get to meet him one day although I live in Texas I’m optimistic I will. LGM!

[@stevepiazza31]

Hope he’s holdin’ that Commissioner’s Trophy up for us one day…. Like unfortunately, what David was unable to do.

[@lordtwisted4216]

Great interview. David Wright is missed. Love seeing him talk baseball.

[@njmattyp]

Great interview with two Mets legends! Both of these guys are a credit to the history of the Mets and to the game.

[@j-maur]

love to see these two players together, LGM.

[@FanOfTheEarth20]

What you said at the end about Francisco, that was beautiful David. And true as I see it every game I watch. LGM!

[@lisaruoppolo2754]

Excellent show!!! So happy I found you guys!!! These two are just among the best and most honest and dedicated players this team has had! Love them and love your show!

[@BlueOrangeNY31]

David one of my favorite all time Mets. I remember following him in the minors. It’s unfortunate the back problems creeped up. As far as Lindor, he’s a good and solid player, the hate towards needs to stop.

[@R3C-2]

Lindor should be our next captain. His work ethic is great, and he's a great player who will finish his career here, hopefully. Seeing him with David cements this thought in my mind.

[@Liam-yi2ye]

my favorite player as a kid and my favorite player now in the same interview. love it

[@isaiah365]

More David Wright on the mic please! I miss him so much

[@Howtocreatewinningfocalsbeads]

I love this interview because of a few things for me. 1. David Wright. My all time favorite Met. Only Piazza sits up there with him in my opinion. 2. Lindor is a humble dude. He worked his butt off and continues to grind for the Mets and is a Met for life now. He’s still got huge seasons in front of him and with the protection he has this year, with Pete and a few legit bats protecting him, I can see him hitting close to 40 HRs, steal 30, hit 30 Doubles, very, very possible for this young man. Mets will be surprisingly better than expected this year, despite the pitching whoa. Hopefully they play hard enough and win enough for David Stearns to go get some arms at the deadline and then have a huge offseason for us.

[@martinespino4077]

Amazing. I still miss my Captain. And Paquito is on his way to become a Mets' legend. #LFGM

[@gabrielreyes8373]

Great episode!!!

[@TheTEN24]

Loved this interview two of my favorite Mets of all time just talking about their games and ways they lead. DW is a hall of famer in my eyes and always will be

[@defuseddynamite616]

This was great❤.Thank you guys 🎉

[@stevepiazza31]

This was great! All I can say…

[@Trav81888]

“HOJO….a career .249 hitter sitting on a fastball swinging from his ass. That’s our hitting coach?!?!” This is a real quote from a previous clubhouse attendant many many moons ago…..

[@aCozyManatee]

That was fun

[@ImGriz]

Wish we could get more of the Captain

[@lwebsta598]

Where’s Howard Johnson??

[@Tiberious_Of_Elona]

Fuckin awesome to have the Captain with Lindor for this.

[@nycmatthew206]

Lindor is gonna be the next Mets captain

[@Howtocreatewinningfocalsbeads]

David’s Prime was good enough to put him into HOF consideration. I’m not saying he is a HOFer but I can see the Mets raising his number very, very soon and potentially down the line, see David don the Manager role.

[@rob5431]

Is that Vito Calise????????

[@SethOpitz]

Hey David, Lindor's not the only one with gold gloves; last time I checked you scored one the same year as your 30/30

[@flyer26]

Retire 🧡💙5️⃣💙🧡

[@matthewjonesy3879]

These guys at 3rd and short would have been sick.

[@dave-tl1iq]

Lindor needs to hit 300

[@joselopezmoya9786]

When David played it was harder to get a 30/30 season because they didn't have that stupid rule which gives an unfair advantage to would be stealer.

[@petenieto1575]

Mike Francesa is the reason I stopped listening to the FAN many many years ago

HoJo one of the most underrated Met ever but don't forget Lindor
