Mets' Wright Homers To Join 30-30 Club
16th September, 2007 - 8:36 pm
Yahoo.com - David Wright became the fourth-youngest player to reach 30 homers and 30 stolen bases in a season when he hit a solo drive in the seventh inning of the Mets' 10-6 loss to the Phillies on Sunday.
Wright is the 29th player to accomplish the feat and third to do it with New York. Wright, who has 31 steals, joins his hitting coach, Howard Johnson, and Darryl Strawberry as the only Mets players in the 30-30 club.
The 24-year-old Wright has four homers in his last seven games.
Its amazing considering the putrid start he had with the bat in the beginning of the season. A 30-30 third basemen is probably something that wont be seen much anymore around the league, just goes to show how special Wright really is. Next up for him MVP...
