Wright, the Mets’ most recent captain and the only player in team history to have his number retired after spending his entire career with the club, expressed his gratitude throughout a speech that capped a half-hour ceremony on Saturday emceed by broadcaster Howie Rose.

The New York Mets officially retired David Wright's number, and Wright's wife, Molly Beers, children, and family had an emotional moment during the ceremony.
