David at his best!
Call it showboating or whatever, but I am glad to see that kinda fire in the Mets again. Keep it rolling guys
If willy were here, he woulda disciplined David for excessive celebrations. Thank god we have Jerry.
Amazing. I love it. That was a CLUTCH hit! He has a right to be excited…
Well, his was just a clutch ‘run real fast’. I love it, emotion is good.
“Traffic” is a lame excuse for why Rollins was late, but it doesn’t beat “Oh, Pacific Time? What’s that?”.
*I meant Delgado’s hit was clutch
Actually Wright scored the “Insurance” Run, but either way, awesome picture
Nothing like a happy Dave!
Dave is a very talented and very smart player. He is dedicated and passionate about the game. Dave is young and I think that he has an incredible career ahead of him. I can easily see him in the hall of fame someday. His team spirit, enthusiasm and dedication is very admirable. It is refreshing to see a player like Dave. I respect Dave very much, and being so close in age to him, I find inspiration in his approach to the game. He is one of my Hero’s. Although I have no desire to be an athlete, the way he utilizes his talent and approaches his work is something that I admire very much and that inspires me to do the same in my work. If I could meet any celebrity (and I have met a few in my line of work) it would be David Wright. It would be an honor to shake his hand.
LETS GO DAVE! LETS GO METS!
I hung with Dave… cool guy, although not quite as cool as Eric Valent.
LOL so do you like Wright or not?
I don’t think it was showboating, anymore than Victorino’s homeplate handclap or Reyes’ going around the bases.
These were big games, and if you can’t bring the intensity…..
i love it, f this showboating or anything else, baseball is a game and should be enjoyed as one
My favorite team, the Mets, have quite a “history of histrionics” so I really would be a hypocrite if I got mad at Victorino or other players on other teams who are demonstrative. I can only hope that in the end it’s my guys that will fist pump last.
Brings back memories of Straw low-fiving Mex as he crossed home plate.
Ah! One of the most hated teams in the history of pro-baseball. Those were the days…
…absolutely. One of my favorite things about this current team is the fact that HoJo has brought back “twos.” Gives me ‘86 memories every time I see it.
..my friend, I thought they never end…
I love this…playing the game with some fire baby.
That shot of David is one of the all-time great Mets moments. Raw emotion on what, hopefully, is the turning point in our season.
Two Words..
.. PICTURE PERFECT..
I love it – I wish there was a gif of him punching the air.
This is the swagger that develops when you overtake first place as your own. Let’s Go Mets!
To any Mets fan…this is truly a beautiful thing
i gotta say, this is still different than Victorino and honestly probably Reyes..
Victorino was doing his thing as he looked into the Mets dugout, almost an obvious dig at us. Reyes, I think was just REALLY excited he got the hit and it was partially about him…
Wright, he just was absolutely PUMPED his team just took a 2 run lead in a game they NEEDED to have….purely for the team, purely a leader…. awesome picture
What a photo, what a moment. I missed the game live but caught highlights later on. When Wright crossed home and pumped his fist, I was out my seat with butterflies and the biggest grin I’ve had this season. This picture captures everything that is good about this team right now: power, emotion and drive.
What a moment.
I don’t get it. Since when did everyone become so sensitive that players can’t react to the moment and celebrate a big hit with outward emotion? It’s not like these guys are doing some contrived choreographed NFL-style touchdown celebration.
It’s simple, if you don’t like being “shown up” then don’t grove a pitch that some guy can hit 400+ feet.
Many Met fans were very sensitive when it was Lastings Milledge emoting like this. And, a less sizable but loud contingent were (and are) sensitive when Jose Reyes emotes like this. It is nice to see David Wright being applauded for being excited about the game, but I hope in the future Reyes will garner the same benefit of the doubt.
