18 years ago today, David Wright made one of the craziest catches in Mets history.
@mikemayer22 Mets history? How about BASEBALL effing history!!
@mikemayer22 I remember after this season watching a show on ESPN where they debated the "play of the year" and someone insisted Ichiro sort of climbing a wall to steal a HR was better. We have seen that type of play a trillion times. Barehanded catches running away from the infield: Once.
@mikemayer22 I remember watching this on the TV in my bedroom well past my bedtime
@mikemayer22 Dae-Sung Koo pitched just 22 innings for the Mets and was part of this highlight and had the Randy Johnson game. Magnet to the spotlight
@mikemayer22 This is a great catch, but cricketers do things like this or better quite regularly!
@mikemayer22 I can’t fucking wait for his number retirement. Gonna ball like a baby and idc who sees
@mikemayer22 Awesome catch but the contortion may have been the start of his back and neck maladies.
@mikemayer22 Not all that dissimilar #TheSnag
@mikemayer22 One of the craziest catches in MLB history not just Mets history
@mikemayer22 this is more impressive than the Willie Mays catch and thats a fact.
@mikemayer22 I think that's the play that he said he got hurt on
@mikemayer22 definitely Fran Healy. Matt Loughlin maybe?
@mikemayer22 That’s probably how he injured his back! 😮
@mikemayer22 I wasn’t even one when that happened
@mikemayer22 @BarkinBuck22 were u in Scott's backyard for this
@mikemayer22 and then his back was never the same....
@mikemayer22 Watched him in AA BMets and he was amazing. Literally watched him get better on a nightly basis. And he was an even better dude. He would talk to you like he’s known you for ages.
@mikemayer22 I have seen a play like that at Conant before. @BobJustBob1
@mikemayer22 Wright is one of my favorite Mets ever, but Ron Swoboda’s catch in the 69 World Series is my favorite.
@mikemayer22 @TPCarney Mets history? How about baseball history? That’s sick.
@mikemayer22 Would have been a Norma catch of his footwork was correct off the first step
