a long time ago, in a galaxy called Flushing…
It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a
hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the
Empire’s ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station
with enough power to destroy an entire planet.
Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home
aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her
people and restore freedom to the galaxy…

MLB.com, as is its wont,* is allowing fans to vote on their All-Time Nine for each team.
Rules are you pick one season from each guy at each position, and then imagine they were all on the same Mets team at the same time having that season.
And then you imagine you had season tickets that year and got to watch ‘99 Rickey Henderson lead off followed by 2006 Reyes, and then 2007 Wright would hit a double to score two, and then 2000 Piazza would step up to the plate, and they had to pitch to him because ‘98 Olerud and ‘86 Keith Hernandez were due up, and 2000 Piazza would wink at you and you would know deep down that he loved y…..

But at some point, they become more than part of the game. A key injury at a key time can seem to make a big difference to a ballclub. Then again, over such a short sample, statisticians say that the difference in performance is negligible, and that since all teams eventually experience lost time to injuries, it all evens out.
But Mets fans know there is nothing “even” about this season. There is nothing fair.
So let’s prove it.
Let’s figure out the point at which statistics takes a hike, the point at which we can look at a sports team, any sports team, and say “this is just completely unfair — we have no idea how good that team might have been.”

So how has your Wright-less Mets baseball been?
…
That bad, huh?
Well, fortunately, you no longer have to wait to get your David Wright back! Thanks to modern technology, for a limited time only, you can have your very own All Star 3rd baseman back in the lineup of your choice. I’m talking the 21st century! I’m talking super space age technology! I’m talking about the Rawlings S100!
It’s a big honkin’ baseball helmet. And apparently, it’s going to save David’s season.
Teammates may laugh. But opponents won’t be laughing once they witness the might of Dark Helmet.
Of course, being an All Star and all, David gets his custom-made, with all sorts of extra winning features. Like a mustache. Herein, exclusive to our Wright Stache wreaders, is a sneak peak at the helmet David Wright will sport for the rest of the season.
Just one easy click-through away!
