David Wright took the field for his final start with the New York Mets on Saturday night against the Miami Marlins. Unsurprisingly, he received a raucous and warm welcome from Mets faithful at Citi Field.

Not only that but his daughter, Olivia Shea Wright, threw out the game's ceremonial first pitch.

It's the end of an era. The beloved, lifelong Met entered Saturday with a career batting line of .296/.376/.491 with 242 home runs and 196 stolen bases in 1,584 games.
