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.

I view this as just an incredible, organic relationship between me and my family, the city, the organization, the fan base," Wright said in a news conference before the ceremony.

Ahead of his number retirement and induction into the Mets’ Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday, Wright was asked who he feels embodies the qualities of a captain. He settled on two players: left-fielder Brandon Nimmo and shortstop Francisco Lindor.
