This surprise was nothing wanting a house run.
David Wright recently had a sweet encounter with a Mets fan in San Francisco, where the previous third baseman greeted a bartender who was wearing his jersey.
A video of the exchange — which was posted Friday on the Mets’ social media accounts — features Wright on the bar waiting to put his order before the bartender turns around and, after a moment, realizes who their next customer is.
“When your bartender in SF is wearing a David Wright jersey … And also you’re David Wright,” the account captioned the clip.
The bartender then asked Wright for a hug, to which the previous MLB star, 40, obliged.
Wright’s fan then playfully shouted at colleagues, “I believed you guys were f–king with me.”
The video has already captured the hearts of Mets fans across social media.
“That is every part we’d like in our timeline,” one fan commented on Instagram.
One other wrote, “That is making me smile, laugh and cry a bit all at the identical time. Miss this amazing guy !”
Wright, who was originally drafted by the Mets in 2001, retired from skilled baseball in 2018 after years of battling spinal stenosis.
He made his major league debut in 2004 and went on to have a decorated profession that included seven All-Star nods, two Gold Glove awards, and a pair of Silver Slugger honors.
The Mets are currently in San Francisco as a part of a West Coast road trip that also featured two series against the A’s and Dodgers respectively.
They defeated the Giants on Thursday, 9-4, and have three games left within the series.
