David Wright is a quintessential Met—a player whose contributions on and off the field embody everything the team represents, making his No. 5 retirement a fitting honor.
The Mets lack a deep history of players worthy of number retirements, suggesting that we should think outside the box to celebrate their legacy.
Instead of simply retiring numbers, it may be more meaningful to find creative ways to honor players, like naming fields or creating awards.
The call for fewer retirements reflects a desire for a new approach to celebrate Mets history rather than just following a repetitive tradition.
