With a nod to ESPN, is there a player with more Web Gems on the Mets than David Wright? I don't think so. Wright recieved top honors for Tuesday's amazing grab of Pat Burrell's sizzling one-hopper, but was relegated to No. 2 on SportsCenter's top 10 plays. Twins rookie Jason Kubel was No. 1 for the walkoff grand slam that beat the Red Sox, but I still think Wright got robbed.
The funny thing about Wright is that the tougher the play, the better he looks. Even he admits that the routine grounder is more of a challenge becase of the extra time to think about what's in front of him rather than relying on instinct and pure athletic ability. Either way, Wright continues to improve defensively, with more Web Gems sure to be on the way.

That truly was the turning point of the game. Even after 16 runs, 26 hits and 8 home-runs, it took David Wright's spectacular play to solidify a big win at Citizens Bank Ballpark. This was the play of the night in baseball and should be a moment we look back on fondly.
Maybe David Wright will finally provide New York fans with a third baseman who will be Mr. October !
