Move over Mike

This is a sad day in many respects for me I have a new favorite Baseball player. And for the first time my favorite player in the game is younger then my 34 years old. Mike Piazza has been my favorite player for the last 6 or 7 years he brought class and hope to my NY Mets and I will always have him number one on my list of all time favorite players.

But my favorite Met has changed. The player that will lead the Mets to the teams next championship and a player that already has the respect of the league. That player is 21 year old third baseman David Wright. For those of you that do not know the Mets history of third is an ugly misadventure. This is different he is Scott Rolen already and may develop into a Mike Schmidt type talent. His swing is pure and his d is improving so for me the David Wright era has begun. And it is time to turn the page. I think Wright will be my 5 year olds first real favorite player and well he is mine know as well.
