David Wright announced Thursday he will be done playing after a brief return later this month. Here are 10 moments that defined his memorable career:

A new era began for the Mets on July 21, 2004, when Wright made his big-league debut, joining fellow top prospect Jose Reyes on the left side of the infield.

Wright’s barehanded catch while sprinting into shallow left field with a dive on a blooper hit by Brian Giles on Aug. 9, 2005, remains one of the great highlights of his career.

In his first career All-Star Game at-bat, Wright clocked a Kenny Rogers pitch for a homer the day after reaching the Home Run Derby final, where he lost to Ryan Howard.

Following an All-Star season, Wright struggled in the postseason, especially in the NLCS, going 4-for-25 with two RBIs and just two extra-base hits in the seven-game series loss to the Cardinals.

Wright became the Mets’ all-time leader in hits Sept. 26, 2012, with an infield single against the Pirates, passing Ed Kranepool’s 1,418. His tally currently stands at 1,777.

He earned the splashy nickname after tearing up the 2013 event, leading the tournament in RBIs with 10, which included a grand slam against Italy.

On March 21, 2013, Wright was named the fourth Mets captain in franchise history, joining Keith Hernandez (1987-89), Gary Carter (1988-1989) and John Franco (2001-04).

From spinal stenosis in 2015 to neck surgery a year later and rotator cuff surgery in September 2017, it was one major medical issue after another leading up to this point.

In his first at-bat after missing 115 games with spinal stenosis, Wright blasted a mammoth 428-foot homer, setting the stage for a 16-7 romp over the Phillies in Philadelphia.

Wright homered in the only World Series victory of his career, launching a two-run shot off Yordano Ventura in the first inning of Game 3 in 2015, igniting a 9-3 victory that cut the Royals’ series lead to 2-1.
