The ironic part about all of this — about the number retirement, about the Mets Hall of Fame induction, about The Captain, the No. 5 becoming immortalized in the left field corner at Citi Field, the entire celebration that unfolded — is that David Wright doesn’t want to be the center of attention.

The Mets revealed his No. 5 jersey alongside the 10 other numbers retired by the franchise in advance of their game against the Cincinnati Reds Saturday afternoon. And when the public address announcer said that no New York Met would wear the No. 5 ever again, Wright looked like he had all the feels as he watched with his family from the field.

The New York Mets officially retired David Wright's number, and Wright's wife, Molly Beers, children, and family had an emotional moment during the ceremony.

Wright, the Mets’ most recent captain and the only player in team history to have his number retired after spending his entire career with the club, expressed his gratitude throughout a speech that capped a half-hour ceremony on Saturday emceed by broadcaster Howie Rose.

Ahead of his number retirement and induction into the Mets’ Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday, Wright was asked who he feels embodies the qualities of a captain. He settled on two players: left-fielder Brandon Nimmo and shortstop Francisco Lindor.

Among those teams are the New York Mets, who overhauled their bullpen with two deals on Wednesday night, shipping away prospects to bring in submariner Tyler Rogers and 2024 NL Reliever of the Year Ryan Helsley.
