Being a fan from England, I only ever watched one game, and I made sure it was this one

[trcolavi]

I was there... just happened to buy tix to that game before he announced his retirement. My whole family was there with usual doesn’t happen... will forever be my favorite baseball memory

[chrisletourneau]

This game was AMAZING! I had the best nosebleed seats of my life. GO #5! so electric! I cried like a little sissy.

[brittanyhernandez]

So lucky to have been at this game!! The crowd was electric!

[johanarojas]

It’s crazy how I bought tickets for this game before he announced this would be his last game. I was so lucky to have been there with my family, the vibes from the crowd was amazing. Always will be a proud Mets fan! #LFGM💙🧡

Even as a Yankee fan, the amount of respect I have for David Wright is indescribable

[danacoleman]

special player and more importantly special person! really appreciate the example David set for my young sons playing the game. Good luck with everything you do in the future, David!

[michaeldeitch]

This game was really personal to me. Glad I was there!

[ProSportsOutlook]

7x All-Star, 2x Gold Glove & Silver Slugger. Franchise leader in hits, RBIs, runs scored, total bases, extra-base hits, doubles and walks. The game misses you Captain America. We all miss the game. Great game

[tjh]

Don't know this puts a lump in my throat years after.

[kenm]

I was to young to understand baseball but I love David

[YankeesFan]

I’m a Yankees fan but i respect the Mets this was a special day for the met fans.

[SurgingSpecs]

57:13 nobody was hated more on that night in new york city than peter o’brien

[Tsolberg]

I was there. Crazy game. I remeber his final at bat where he popped out to the first baseman

[GLee-oeop]

The greatest Met. Say what you will about Seaver, Strawberry, Piazza. Wright spent his entire career with the Mets and won a pennant along the way

[domdabomb]

As a probably 11 year old ish kid back then, I cried my eyes out in his last game, watching the TV at home. I remember the world series home run that he hit when I was probably in fourth grade, I still cry watching this back, its crazy how nothing else can make me cry except this.

[jasonbrander]

I never got to watch the game when it happened. Couldn't attend, channel wasn't supported, and streams did not work.

[christopherdabbraccio]

Got home at a solid 1-1:30 am after this game worth the time tho

[RyukinJakka]

Playing I got 5 on it was an underrated dope move

[ssgking]
