New York Mets
A San Francisco bartender wearing a David Wright jersey was in for a huge surprise on Thursday … ’cause she came face-to-face with her favorite New York Mets star — and the moment was pretty awesome!!
TMZ Sports has learned — the interaction went down at Local Tap on 3rd and Brannan in SF … after David’s friends noticed Kyl Goodman wearing the black #5 threads behind the bar.
Goodman — a native New Yorker and longtime Mets fan — says Wright’s friends told her the Mets great was right down the street and they would arrange for her to meet him … but she didn’t think they were actually being serious.
Sure enough, Wright popped up at Local Tap shortly after … and the two were all smiles as they hugged one another!!
“I thought you guys were f***ing with me,” Kyl told Wright’s friends in the video.
Wright — selected by the Mets in the first round of the 2001 MLB draft — played 14 seasons in the Big Apple … and was a fan-favorite while playing third baseman for the organization.
The 40-year-old was a 7-time All-Star, 2-time Gold Glove winner, back-to-back Silver Slugger winner … and finished his career with 242 home runs.
Wright retired from MLB in 2018 … but he’s still clearly just as popular even in retirement.
Awesome work, David and friends!!
