The New York Mets honored one of the most beloved players in franchise history Saturday afternoon and officially retired longtime third baseman David Wright's No. 5 in a pregame ceremony at Citi Field. They marked the occasion with a big No. 5 on the Home Run Apple in center field.

New York Mets third baseman David Wright was lauded at his number retirement ceremony at Citi Field in New York City on Saturday. The tribute took place ahead of the Mets' game against the Cincinnati Reds.

The ironic part about all this — about the number retirement, about the Mets Hall of Fame induction, about The Captain, the No. 5 becoming immortalized in the left-field corner at Citi Field, the entire celebration that unfolded — is that David Wright doesn’t want to be the center of attention.
