Note: David Letterman is a Jinx
In a report for the New York Post, Bart Hubbuch talks with David Wright about his recent slump.
Wright is hitting just .155 in his last 58 at bats.
Howard Johnson, on Wright, as quoted by Hubbuch:
“He’s just been over-swinging. That’s going to happen in the
course of a year. We’ll keep making adjustments. He’s going to get back to going off the way he used to do. I’m convinced of that.”
Last season, Wright hit .244 in April with just six RBI, yet finished fourth in the MVP vote for the National League.
…frankly, i am not at all concerned about wright…he’s in a rut…it happens…he’s always shown the ability to pull out of it and i am fairly certain he will do so again…of all the things surrounding this team, he is the least of my worries…
For what it’s worth, prior to his appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, Wright was hitting .311.
Since Letterman, Wright is hitting .259.
In 2006, Wright hit 20 home runs prior to an appearance on Letterman during the All-Star Break, after which he hit just six the rest of the season.
…it’s official: letterman is a jinx…also, he’s a Yankees fan…
