    David is one of the greatest Mets ever. He was a consummate professional. Would also have been a HOF if disease hadn't robbed years off his career.
  • @RobertMcGill
    David looks like he can still play. I hate it that his career was cut short due to injuries.
  • @SotenLunaris
    I wanna cry 😭. Lindor is my fav player and when he signed with the Mets I lost it. I hope I get to meet him one day although I live in Texas I’m optimistic I will. LGM!
  • @j-maur
    love to see these two players together, LGM.
  • @lordtwisted4216
    Great interview. David Wright is missed. Love seeing him talk baseball.
  • @njmattyp
    Great interview with two Mets legends! Both of these guys are a credit to the history of the Mets and to the game.
  • @FanOfTheEarth20
    What you said at the end about Francisco, that was beautiful David. And true as I see it every game I watch. LGM!
  • @BlueOrangeNY31
    David one of my favorite all time Mets. I remember following him in the minors. It’s unfortunate the back problems creeped up. As far as Lindor, he’s a good and solid player, the hate towards needs to stop.
  • @lisaruoppolo2754
    Excellent show!!! So happy I found you guys!!! These two are just among the best and most honest and dedicated players this team has had! Love them and love your show!
  • @R3C-2
    Lindor should be our next captain. His work ethic is great, and he's a great player who will finish his career here, hopefully. Seeing him with David cements this thought in my mind.
  • @isaiah365
    More David Wright on the mic please! I miss him so much
  • @Liam-yi2ye
    my favorite player as a kid and my favorite player now in the same interview. love it
  • @Howtocreatewinningfocalsbeads
    I love this interview because of a few things for me. 1. David Wright. My all time favorite Met. Only Piazza sits up there with him in my opinion. 2. Lindor is a humble dude. He worked his butt off and continues to grind for the Mets and is a Met for life now. He’s still got huge seasons in front of him and with the protection he has this year, with Pete and a few legit bats protecting him, I can see him hitting close to 40 HRs, steal 30, hit 30 Doubles, very, very possible for this young man. Mets will be surprisingly better than expected this year, despite the pitching whoa. Hopefully they play hard enough and win enough for David Stearns to go get some arms at the deadline and then have a huge offseason for us.
  • @martinespino4077
    Amazing. I still miss my Captain. And Paquito is on his way to become a Mets' legend. #LFGM
  • @ImGriz
    Wish we could get more of the Captain
