Wright OK with Manny Being Manny in Queens Next Year

2009_01_wright.jpg David Wright says that he would be fine seeing Manny Ramirez navigating his way around the outfield of Citi Field next season. When asked about the possibility of signing Ramirez, Wright said, "I'd be on board with Manny 100 percent, assuming he put the team first." The all-star who played high school ball in Washington Heights, is known for a troublesome attitude that last year forced the Red Sox into trading him to the Dodgers before his free agency arrived this off-season. But the clean-cut Wright thinks the Mets could handle the man who once allegedly peed behind the Green Monster during a pitching change saying, "I think we have a good enough clubhouse—I don't even know what he's like in the clubhouse." Ramirez is one of a number of potential Hall of Famers, including ex-Mets Pedro Martinez and Tom Glavine, who have not yet been signed this winter.

"assuming he put the team first"

haha. right.

Unfortunately, Jeff Wilpon issued a statement this afternoon stating the Mets are NOT interested in Manny. Big mistake.

Wright looks like he's recovering from a head injury there.

This photo is from last November. He had been doing charity work with kids who have cancer. He was wearing the hat as a show of solidarity with them(they usually wear knit caps after they lose their hair from the radiation/chemotherapy.) So, um, yeah, that's the explanation.
