Two of New York’s favorite baseball players are currently representing their country in the World Baseball Classic and nobody seems to notice or care. David Wright and Derek Jeter are followed by legions of fans, but apparently only when they play for the Mets and Yankees respectively. It was Wright who delivered the biggest hit of the tournament for Team USA, a game-winning single that capped a thrilling comeback in the ninth against Puerto Rico. Wright was mobbed by his teammates, who celebrated like they had won the World Series, but his heroics garnered little attention in the New York area.
