In a great column for The Star Ledger, Dan Graziano profiles David Wright’s comments about last week’s “60 Minutes” piece featuring legendary baseball statistician, Bill James.

James, when asked which player he would pick if he could pick any player in baseball to play on his team, chose Wright. 

Fittingly, Wright was humble in his response:

Obviously it’s nice to be thought of in that manner by somebody who’s been around the game that long and is that respected,” Wright said. “But I feel somewhat undeserving. There’s a lot of guys out there that you could pick, and I don’t feel like I’m the answer to that question.”

Well this is just David being David, so to speak.  No sense in preaching his good qualities in this space, but just another example of what a class-act he is.  You can complain about injuries and poor trades all day, but then take time to appreciate the fact that we have a player of his caliber who has a great attitude, work ethic, and can keep his ego in check.
