Our friend @MikeVacc does such an amazing job pulling threads together -- original reporting, touching anecdotes and conversations with David -- in this piece. A great article to kick off Wright's number retirement week.

[Mike Vaccaro @MikeVacc]

We started a five-day celebration of David Wright today at @nypostsports in advance of the #Mets retiring No. 5 next Saturday. Here’s my contribution, beautifully presented by our gifted designing crew.

A beautiful moment in the wake of an even more beautiful call. It's hard not to tear up when @HowieRose says, "They're waiting for him."

[New York Mets @Mets]

They played @HowieRose’s call on the plane and it was EPIC! #LGM

@AdamRubinMedia Some really nice shots here, amigo.

[Mike Kerwick @mikekerwick]

I was told this is moving day. Packed my bags, but for now, I'm planning to keep a foot planted in both places. Feel free to follow me where the cool kids hang.

I couldn't agree more. A perfect column on a perfect game. Bravo, @TylerKepner.

[Ben Shpigel @benshpigel]

I woke up to see that Domingo German had pitched a perfect game. I hoped ⁦@TylerKepner⁩ stayed up to write about it. He did, and his column is as masterly as German was: https://t.co/2sJUY3HVTD

I know what he means, but Steve Cohen saying "above my pay grade" made me chuckle.

@Bob_Badders Bob, you're incredibly talented and I know you won't be a free agent for very long. Huge loss for the Shore, huge gain for your next employer.

[Mike Kerwick @mikekerwick]

@pcaldera @northjersey Great list! I always had a soft spot for Miami, but haven't seen it since they made the Jeter tweaks. I'd swap out Minnesota and pop Miami into that Magnificent 7.

@AnthonyMcCarron I'm actually more of a fedora person.

Amazing grace, #SarahLangs #FightALS

Yo, @Rosenbergradio, @StatGuyGreg and Dip: Loving this maj garment. Got here just in time for the Rumble. Stay maj, fellas. #cheapheat

This is a fantastic story. It makes me wish more modern athletes opened up with reporters. Really humanizes Leonard Williams.

[Darryl Slater @DarrylSlater]

Leonard Williams finally broke through to the playoffs in Year 8, after 6,311 snaps.

Here’s how he broke down walls that held him back for so much longer, screamed out his pain, and let in the woman who now soothes his soul: https://t.co/ZfHCnGr789

@mcadam_pat You're too kind, Pat. Loved covering the team, but it beats you up a bit. Definitely happy we're I'm at now.

[Mike Kerwick @mikekerwick]

Me: "Back in my day, the big Mets off-season acquisition was Frank Francisco (two years. $12 million)." Young Mets fan: "OK, Grandpa. Let's get you back into bed."

@lindsayberra @bw51official "In six games" is one of my all-time favorite "Seinfeld" lines.

[Mike Kerwick @mikekerwick]

Wait 'til next ear.

[Mike Kerwick @mikekerwick]

Stepping out of the batter's box constantly, which the Padres are clearly deploying as a strategy, may work to their advantage. But it sure makes the game a lot less watchable.

[Mike Kerwick @mikekerwick]

@elisaung Saw Hamlet with a friend in Boston. On the walk back, a stranger meandered into our discussion of the show. Me: "Did you see it too?" Stranger: "I was Polonius."

[Mike Kerwick @mikekerwick]

We'd lost touch over the last few years, but J.P. was such a wonderful person and the best teammate you could ever imagine. Rest in peace, J.P. If someone asks me "Where's J.P.?" I'll tell them you're in a better place.

[Mike Kerwick @mikekerwick]

Years ago I was interviewing Seton Hall's John Allen after a summer basketball league game. "Where's J.P.?" Allen asked. At the time, I had never met J.P. He was just a byline in another newspaper. (cont.)

[Jerry Carino @NJHoopsHaven]

I’m deeply saddened to say good friend and well-respected scribe J.P. Pelzman has passed away. J.P. was such a good guy and a pro’s pro of a sportswriter. It was a privilege to spend many nights with him courtside and in the press room covering Seton Hall basketball. (more...)

[Mike Kerwick @mikekerwick]

J.P. was my main backup during the two years I covered the Mets. He had a knack for inheriting the doozys, including -- if I remember correctly -- a 20-inning game against the Marlins. But he never complained about things like that. (cont.)
