Gettin’ Wiggy With It.

After today’s 3-3 showing with 6 RBIs, Ty Wigginton raised his average to .289 against the Mets.
The guy was always, and probably will always, be one of my favorite obscure Mets of all time. And yes, I know his trade paved the way for David Wright to become a starter. I just always held out hope is that he would have come back via free agency as a utility infielder and clubhouse presence. He had to be one of the only players sent out of Queens that literally cried about it.* I hope to one day have him sign my jirt. (That’s jersey + shirt for you keeping score at home.)
*I cannot find anything to back up the crying claim on the Internet, but since his trade was in 2004 eight HAS to be in print, somewhere.
