Cliff Floyd doesn’t remember the exact game, the exact date.&nbsp;

“It was one of those times I was hurt,” he says with a laugh. “Too many of those.”&nbsp;

What he recalls, in high definition and high fidelity, is what happened as he stepped out of his car in the player’s parking lot, which was beyond the outfield at Shea Stadium. It was the middle of a game, middle of the season — “Some random Tuesday in May or July,” Floyd says — and as Floyd began to walk to the Mets clubhouse, it happened.&nbsp;

The roar is what struck him first, a sound that tried to climb right up to the sky. Then the shaking. If he hadn’t known better, he’d have sworn the walls were about to fall in on him.&nbsp;

Wright almost certainly will never get the day in Cooperstown his old friend covets for him, one for which he was on a fast track until his back began to bark.
