Wright passes Kranepool as Mets' all-time hits king.
The record-setting knock came in the third inning Wednesday, when Wright dribbled an infield single down the third-base line for his 1,419th career hit. With that, he snapped a tie with Kranepool to become the franchise's all-time hits leader in his ninth big league season. The Mets honored him with a brief video tribute on the center-field video board, as the Citi Field crowd saluted him with a standing ovation.
An inning later, he added hit No. 1,420 to his career total with another single in the fourth.
Congrats David!!
