Technically, David Wright was an active player in the first few years of MLBoyfriend. However, due to injuries he only played 37 games in 2016, 0 in 2017, and 2 in 2018. If I had know 2016 would be my last real chance to name him my MLBoyfriend, I would given him the title at least once, because....
Wright is more than a (very) pretty face. He had an impressive career .296 batting average and 1.243 OPS. He was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2004 and Player of the Year in 2005. There's also something great about the fact that he spent his entire career with the New York Mets.
David Wright was named "Captain America" for his performance in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. In that tournament, he had a .438 batting average, 10 RBIs and a grand slam.
Now that I've initiated the Retro-MLBoyfriend, I can make up for the injustice of not giving Wright the title in the first year of this blog.
Congratulations, David Wright! You are my second Retro-MLBoyfriend.
