Mets to Retire David Wright's No. 5 and Induct Him into Team Hall of Fame

The ceremony honoring the longtime captain and franchise legend will take place on July 19, 2025, ahead of a game against the Reds at Citi Field.

David Wright will become the 10th Mets player to have his jersey number retired, with his No. 5 set to be enshrined in Citi Field's rafters.
The July 19, 2025 ceremony will also see Wright inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame, recognizing his 14-year career with the team.
Wright holds multiple Mets franchise records, including hits, doubles, RBIs, and runs scored, and is second in home runs behind Darryl Strawberry.
Despite injuries cutting his career short, Wright was a seven-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove winner, and a key figure in the Mets' 2015 World Series appearance.
The Mets have recently expanded their criteria for retiring numbers, honoring other notable players such as Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry in recent years.
