Blog: Lucky to Have David Wright
In a 400–word post to Hot Foot, Anthony De Rosa explains why the Mets are lucky to have David Wright, writing…
“Players like this do not grow on trees, especially
ones with the rare combination of being able to talk the talk and walk the walk. Amid mountains of Alex Rodriguez talk, David Wright might be the most valuable third baseman in baseball after all.
“When the Mets tanked in the final month of the season, many players ran for the hills, Wright stood in the clubhouse and accepted the slings and arrows that were thrown at him from the press, and assumed full responsibility even though his performance down the stretch was solid and not the decisive factor in the Mets collapse.”
…by the way, i’m noticing a lot of people goofing on wright about the white, tight, knit-cap he was sporting indoors and on-air last night during SNY’s Mets Hot Stove Report…
In the comment’s section, Shea Guevera writes…
“I think the hat had something to do with him visiting cancer patients at NYU medical center on Monday. It’s the same kind of cap that kids undergoing chemo were wearing in the cancer ward. ABC news had a brief segment on it yesterday. One of the patients’ mothers made note of it; she thought it was a nice touch, a bit of solidarity.”
…i hope this is the case…if so, that’s a nice touch and only support’s de rosa’s post…
By the way, The David Wright Foundation will be holding their third-annual Do the Right Thing Gala in New York City at the Hard Rock on Thursday, November 15.
