Summary

BT and Sal delve into the recently released SNY documentary about former Mets captain David Wright, titled "The Right Way." Sal, having watched the nearly two-hour film, praises it as SNY's best documentary yet, highlighting the intimate look at Wright's humble beginnings, his blue-collar family, and his journey through the minor leagues to becoming a Mets icon. They discuss Wright's career highs, like the 2015 World Series appearance, and the heartbreaking lows, particularly the injuries that shortened his career, including a pivotal play that led to his back issues. Sal passionately argues that, excluding Tom Seaver, David Wright is undeniably the greatest Met of all time due to his character, leadership, and overall impact, despite some personal reservations during Wright's playing career due to unmet expectations.
