Read: David Wright working on Explosiveness
In the New York Post, Kevin Kernan spent time in New York City with David Wright, ‘who is working hard this offseason to add more explosiveness,’ which, he hopes, ‘will translate into more stolen bases and him being stronger down the stretch.’
Wright, on Citi Field, and what it could mean to his team, as quoted by Kernan:
“I think this is just what we needed, a new environment where what’s happened the last couple of years, we can learn from it, but we can kind of put it behind us and bring a new idea over to Citi Field… I’m excited about it, not only because it’s new, but it kind of represents for me a blank board where we can begin to pursue new goals and not necessarily have an anchor with us of the last couple of years.”
…this is interesting, as i had not though about that…on Opening Day of 2008, in Shea Stadium, i could not help but think of what the mood had been like during the previous game played in that building, i.e., the last game of 2007…however, Opening Day 2009 in Citi Field, there is a better chance of looking only forward, than had been the case in previous seasons…hopefully this will help…
