Young Mets fall, but witness to emotional night
On the last weekend of September, an amped-up crowd showed up to Citi Field to see David Wright’s first at-bat since May 27, 2016. For Corey Oswalt and these young pitchers learning on the fly, they played Friday in an atmosphere unlike anything they had previously seen in the big leagues. It may not have been the at-bat Wright or fans had hoped for after nearly two and a half years, but Wright still walked into the Mets’ dugout smiling cheek-to-cheek high-fiving every one of his teammates after he grounded out in a pinch hit at bat in the Mets’ loss to the Marlins.
