David Wright

And, um, my phone, I couldn't reach the White House, State Department, the Pentagon, but my phone started to ring.

The Canadian ambassador, David Wright, the Danish ambassador, the Norwegian ambassador, the Iceland ambassador, and they all said, "We're with you, and we'll go into Afghanistan with you if necessary, and we'll invoke Article 5 of the NATO Treaty.

An attack on one is an attack on all." And by the next day, every ally had agreed.

It was a shot in the arm to our country that had been shattered by this catastrophic attack.

I want to start the podcast with, I think, two emails that perfectly explain the mixed opinions that Met fans have about Beltran.

When David Wright gets his number retired, it's universal love.

When Mike Piazza gets his number retired, it's universal love.

Way back when, when Tom Seaver got his number retired, universal love.

Absolutely.

That's veteran leadership.

David Wright takes outside.

There he is right here.

Played right next to him at shortstop.

It's not David Wright.

No, it's not David Wright.

It's not David Price.

How many David baseball players can we name?

They're not letting people describe what happened.

And I said to a few of us, Mike Piazza and Zio was there, and Ventura, Johnny Franco, and David Wright.

I said, don't sugarcoat it.

We can't do that.

It's been genuing this year.

And then in 2006, it was David Wright and Jose Reyes, which is a very special company to be keeping.

That stat comes from Matthew Mocha, who does great work on Twitter.

I highly recommend following him as well.

Two of them involve a legendary closer, the best closer of all time, Mariano Rivera.

The number three entry, May 28, 2013.

The Mets honor Mariano Rivera in what would become his last season in the show, but that honor goes away when they're down 1-0 in the ninth inning and put together three straight hits by Daniel Murphy, David Wright, and Lucas Duda to complete a 2-1 comeback and win the game.

I thought it was really nice that the Mets let Mo throw out the first pitch in this game.

capacity with so many guys capable of stealing bases in recent years

yeah i mean i'm looking through very quickly while you were talking i pulled up baseball reference and i'm scrolling through past mets teams to see like their stolen base leaders and like you've got ahmed rosario who pops off for 20 right i'm looking at you ready for this the 2014 new york mets you know who led the team in steals just a fun little bit of trivia eric young jr with 30 sure Like, and you just, I'm like, I'm, I'm scrolling through like maybe 2013 is the, is the year where you got David Wright at age 30, stealing 17 bases.

Murphy stole 23 bases.

Eric Young with 38 bases.

Right, that's what I was thinking, and I

was like,

that's how many years ago? 20 years ago now? Yeah, I mean, in 2009, David Wright at 26 stole 27 bases.

It's like the race, the early days of race

And my phone rang.

And it was David Wright, the Canadian ambassador, and he was the senior ambassador at NATO, the longest serving.

And he said, Nick, I think we can invoke Article five of the NATO treaty.

An attack on one shall be considered an attack on all.

And the Mets continue their annual tradition of firehouse visits to honor 911 first responders.

Former players Todd Zeal, John Franco, Robin Ventura, and David Wright stopped by Ladder 25 on the Upper West Side earlier this week.

Members of the 2001 team made their way to Ground Zero just days after the terror attacks.

in hopes of boosting morale as recovery efforts continued.
