When you wear a David Wright jersey and David Wright finds you

They say never meet your heroes?

Someone forgot to tell this to a San Francisco bartender. With the Mets in town for a four-game series against the Giants, the bartender took the opportunity to show her fandom by rocking a David Wright jersey to work. What she didn’t expect is that one of the customers she served would be Wright himself, as shown in a heartwarming video captured by the Mets’ Twitter account:

With some NSFW language, the bartender expressed her extreme surprise and elation at being able to meet her hero, as the two embraced and shared some pleasantries.

A seven-time All-Star, Wright was drafted by the Mets in 2001, and played all 14 of his MLB seasons with New York. He finished as the franchise’s all-time leader in a plethora of stats including but not limited to hits, runs and RBIs, and he is one of only four players in Mets history to be named a team captain.
