We already knew this was coming at some point, but the Mets made it official
this afternoon. David Wright was named the fourth captain in the team’s
history, joining John Franco, Keith Hernandez and Gary Carter.
Wright成为梅子队史第四位队长
前三位依序是：Keith Hernandez、Gary Carter、John Franco
Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko are
the only other active designated “captains” in the major leagues. Wright
didn’t really need the title at this point since he’s clearly the face of
the franchise, so it’s mostly a formality, but the honor clearly means a lot
to him.

Via Andy Martino of the New York Daily News:
“This is probably one of the proudest days of my career so far,” Wright
said. “To be viewed in this light, both by ownership, by Sandy and the front
office, by the coaching staff, and probably most importantly by the players —
It means a great deal to me, and is something that I am very appreciative of.
”
Wright说：
“这也许是我这辈子最感骄傲的时刻之一，能够被GM Sandy、高层、教练，以及其他球
员这样看待，对我来说，这意义重大，我十足感激。”
And don’t worry, Wright will not be wearing a “C” on his uniform. While
those C’s can look a little goofy, I’m guessing the Wilpons may have had
mixed emotions about the situation, as it could have resulted in a huge spike
in merchandise sales. But I’m sure they’ll find a way to make money off it
somehow.
Wright的制服上将不会有"C"这一代表队长得字样
Wright, a supplemental first-round pick of the Mets in 2001, owns a
.301/.381/.506 lifetime batting line and already holds the franchise record
with 1,426 hits. The 30-year-old third signed an eight year, $138 million
extension with the club in December which sets him up to spend his entire
career with the Mets.
