Terry Collins reminisced about David Wright ahead of the retirement of Wright's No. 5 jersey. Collins highlighted Wright's leadership and selflessness, recalling Wright's return from injury in 2015 when he prioritized team success over personal accolades. Wright expressed a desire to contribute, regardless of his role, demonstrating his commitment. He will become the first player to retire with the Mets after spending his entire career with the organization, joining nine others in having their numbers retired.
"I still go back to the experience I had when he was hurt, and he came back in Philadelphia. He showed us his true colors, why we named him captain."
"He was the captain. He came back, and the first thing he said is, 'I just want to help. You're playing great... I just want to be a part of this team."
