Saw an article recently about July 21, 2024 being the best day to retire #5. A Sunday against the Nationals at Citi Field marking the 20th year since his debut and it's against the same franchise, although they were still the Montreal Expos in 2004. I hope the Mets are aware of this, or maybe some intern that runs the youtube channel will see this and pass word along. Thank you to those who put this video together, thank you to the Mets, and most of all thank you David Wright for making the Mets exciting to watch no matter what our record was.

I have been screaming ever since they started talking about the potential for retiring the players numbers they have retired over the last few seasons, and I actually agree with all the numbers they have retired up to today. That said, I also agree with the retiring of Wrights #5, however I feel that #5 should be a "Co-Retire". I don't feel there has ever been a more deserving member of Mets Personnel to have their number retired (Not named Tom Seaver) than The One and Only Davey Johnson. Davey deserves the #5 retired even more than David Wright does, And I say this as a Huge Fan of David Wright.
I actually can not believe I haven't heard one single other person bring this up already!

[rickyfraschy]

Nobody is going to be allowed to wear #5 soon
