David Wright, captain

Though he won't be officially be wearing the "C" upon his chest, David Wright will be comfortable taking the role of captain for the New York Mets.

David Lennon quoted Wright:
I think that I can be more of a leader by what I bring to the field, not necessarily yelling and screaming. I think that if you lead by example and play the game hard and play the game the right way, guys will follow you. Those are the guys that I follow. I've said all along that leadership is earned. There's not a title or letter you can put on your chest that makes you a leader.
Just awesome.

He's 26, he's the face of the franchise, he's arguably their best player and hopefully will retire as a New York Met.

What's not to like?
