Brett Baty collects a trio of hits in his Arizona Fall League game vs. Carlos Cortes' three-hit game. Pete Alonso's 2nd half highlights. Wright was on the fastball, so Kensing decided to go back to the slider. Wright crushed it to left-center to give the Mets a lead. It was his 20th home run of the season before the All-Star Break, prompting a curtain call. I had the whole routine down. Bat under the left arm.
Undo-redo the left batting glove, undo-redo the right batting glove. Grab the bat with both hands, hold it perpendicular to the ground, and stare at the Louisville slugger label intensely.
Respectful downward head nod to the pitcher. Step into the box, tap the outside corner of the plate, quickly followed by the inside corner.
A couple of slow, measured half swings as the pitcher got his signs, and then bring the bat back, waggling rhythmically over my head.

As soon as Wright and the Mets announced that he would take the field one last time, I hopped on StubHub and got tickets. I had to see my idol play one last time.
The atmosphere at Citi Field on September 29th, was unlike anything I had witnessed before. There were so many emotions. Anticipation, to see him play again. Hope, that he would do something in the game. Resilience, because he was coming back from such a difficult situation. The night started off with Wright taking the field on his own, sprinting to third and kicking the base.
Citi Field was the loudest I ever heard it. And at the worst possible time, my allergies kicked in. So weird.
