The two children of recently slain NYPD officer Rafael Ramos received a special surprise when Mets third baseman David Wright reached out to them via phone call to share some encouragement and hope during what must be a trying time for them.
Justin, 19, and Jayden, 13, are both Mets fans, so you could imagine their excitement when Wright extended them an invitation to join the club in Port St. Lucie for a visit to Spring Training.
Wright’s father is a retired police officer himself, and formerly served as the chief of the Norfolk, Virginia, Police Department.
The New York Yankees also made a nice gesture, agreeing to pay the cost of their education through college.
The loss of those officers was such a tragedy. It’s heartwarming to see Wright personally reach out like this.
