Part 2/7:
In the conversation with Jay Horowitz, Wright reflects on the incredible honor of being linked with Mets legend Tom Seaver. As one of the only two players to have their number retired and be inducted into the Hall of Fame on the same day, Wright expresses his longstanding admiration for Seaver, who became a mentor to him during his early days in the league. The friendship and guidance Seaver provided shaped Wright not only as a player but as a man.
The pride of having spent 14 years with the same franchise is evident in his words. On a personal level, Wright notes that being a Mets fan from Virginia and ultimately donning the blue and orange jersey has been a life-changing experience.
