New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores was forced to wear David Wright‘s uniform on Thursday during an intra-squad contest.

What is this, amateur hour? Or, perhaps it’s a rec-league game. Or, maybe it’s Evan Roberts’ Twitter Baseball. [sc name=”Mets Center Right” ]

In any event, it’s real.

Check out the above tweet, courtesy of MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo. This photographic evidence of New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores sporting David Wright’s No. 5 jersey.

Why did this happen today in the Mets intra-squad game against Triple-A Las Vegas? We don’t have the slightest clue. But it did, indeed, happen.

The big squad took the game by the final of 5-4.

Flores started at first base and batted cleanup for the Triple-A squad and killed it offensively at the plate. He finished 2-for-3 with a run, an RBI and a solo home run in the 3rd-inning … all with David Wright’s No. 5 proudly wrapped on his back.

Perhaps the Mets are now on to something here.
