David Wright on the plane crash rumor |

David Wright took a flight from New York to Los Angeles on Jan. 15. When it landed, he was surprised to find so many messages on his cell phone that his inbox was full. It seems a rumor had been making the rounds that Wright was a passenger on US Airways flight 1549 to Charlotte, N.C., the one that landed in the Hudson River. Apparently everyone who knows Wright and heard the unfounded rumor tried to reach him. "I left about an hour after the plane went down in the Hudson," he said yesterday. "By the time I landed, my inbox was full and I got quite a few text messages. I'm glad everyone on the plane turned out to be all right." Wright said he spoke with his mother before boarding his flight. Even so, his father sent him a text message to make sure he was OK. "Parents worry," Wright said. Credit: Newsday |

Wright visits Children's Hospital |

Chances are the paths of David Wright and Cole Hamels will intersect Sunday evening. Chances are the Mets' third baseman and the Phillies' ace will be in each other's presence for a few hours at the New York Baseball Writers' dinner in Manhattan for the first time since Hamels tactlessly suggested that the Mets' collective epiglottis didn't function as well as it might have during the final weeks of the 2007 and '08 seasons. And when that happens, when Wright finally comes face to face with the opponent who impugned the Mets' baseball manhood last month, you can bet he'll have his say. And it'll go something like this... |

David Wright on Manny Ramirez |

There's no indication the Mets are pursuing free agent Manny Ramirez, but David Wright can't help but imagine what the team's lineup would look like with the slugger. "I'd be on board with Manny 100 percent, assuming he put the team first," Wright said Thursday during an appearance at the Schneider Children's Hospital in New Hyde Park. Wright said he doesn't know Ramirez well, but thinks the Mets have a good enough clubhouse mix to allow them to absorb the player who many in baseball think quit on the Red Sox last season to force a trade to the Dodgers. "I think we have a good enough clubhouse -- I don't even know what he's like in the clubhouse -- I would hope we have a good enough clubhouse," Wright said. Asked if he thought the Mets needed another bat, Wright said: "If we can do what we did last year, no . . . I think we'll be just fine. But a bat never hurts." Credit: Hartford Courant |

Not the WRIGHT Number for David Wright? |
Posted on 11 Jan 2009 by Danielle

David Wright can't wear his usual uniform number, 5, for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. That's because his manager, Davey Johnson, wore #5 for the Mets while managing the team from April 2, 1984, until May 29, 1990 and will wear it once again in the WBC. So Wright will wear No. 4. For the record, this excites me very much. Personally, I wore #4 on every sports team I played for, as I was born on April 4th and it was always my lucky number. In my lifetime (and you can do the math), I've seen Mike Cubbage (who first wore the number the year I was born), Cookie Rojas, Robin Ventura, John Valentin, Matt Galante, Chris Woodward, Ben Johnson, Anderson Hernandez, Robinson Cancel, and Argenis Reyes wear my number. And while, as a kid, a man who went by the name Cookie always made me happy, I only truly liked Robin Ventura. Finally, I have the honor of sharing my number with a Met I can brag about... even if it's only for a few weeks. Now all I have to do is find a WBC jersey/tee with Wright and #4 while I'm in Florida and I'll be super happy. |
