It was just announced on MLB Network that Mets captain David Wright has won the Face Of MLB contest. The contest began with representatives from each team facing off in a bracket-style tournament. It came down to Captain America and the Athletic’s Eric Sogard. David won the contest by a slim margin, garnering 51% of the votes, which were cast via twitter.

Although I didn’t take this contest that seriously at the beginning, I found myself pulling for Wright as the tournament reached the later stages. It’s impressive to see the support Mets fans showed their captain, but it also shows the respect David is given around the league and amongst fans of other franchises.
