Heading to Pittsburgh on a high note
I can’t think of a better way to finish off the first half than going to the All-Star Game with a bunch of my teammates. It’s a great honor to be selected to represent the National League for the first time, but it’s even better to be heading to Pittsburgh as one of six representatives of the first-place team in the NL East. We’ve put ourselves in great position. We’re where we want to be and it’s only right that we have so many guys on the team.
Having six guys on the team –- Jose Reyes, Paul Lo Duca, Carlos Beltran, Tom Glavine, Pedro Martinez and me –- is a testament to the way we’ve played during the first half. We’re the Mets representatives on the team, but we’ll be carrying the flag for the rest of the guys in the clubhouse, too, because everyone on our roster has contributed to the success we’ve had so far this season.
I’ll be in awe the entire time. I’ve been a fan of Major League Baseball for a much longer time than I’ve been playing here, so I’ll have my eyes and ears wide open. The guys who will be on the field with me are the elite players in the game. Some of them will be future Hall of Famers, so I’ll have an opportunity to learn a few things from them while I’m in Pittsburgh, too. I figure I’ll be able to have a lot of fun and become a better baseball player at the same time.
People have been reminding me the last few days that the last time the Mets had six guys in the All-Star Game was 1986 when they won the World Series. That’s a fun piece of trivia, but it’s not a good omen any more than getting swept by the Red Sox last week was a bad omen. How well we do in the end will be a matter of how well we perform on the field.
We’re barely halfway through the season at this point and we still have a long way to go. As well as we’ve done so far, we can be even better in the second half. Personally, I’m going to strive to be more consistent. I feel like I’ve taken a baby step toward becoming the player I want to be. But there’s still a lot of hard work ahead, still many long hours in the batting cage and many long hours in the weight room before I get there.
The other highlight of the All-Star break for me will be appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman next Wednesday night. I don’t know exactly how it came about, but it was arranged through Jay Horwitz in our public relations office and it took about two seconds for me to accept the invitation.
I watch Letterman all the time. We’ll have to wait and see, but knowing the show, I’m sure Dave will have some funny stuff lined up for me, probably some good one-liners for which I won’t have any response. I’ve gotten better at making media appearances since coming to New York, but I still get a little nervous. It’s amazing that I can hit a 95 mph fastball or catch a screamer down the line at third in front of a packed stadium, but when that little red light goes on the TV camera, I still get anxious.
You don’t have to worry about me getting a big head from all of the attention I’ve been getting from the media and fans in recent weeks, though. My teammates aren’t about to let that happen. I’ve actually become one of my their favorite targets in the clubhouse. They love to tease me and give me a hard time. It’s all fun. That’s one of the things I love about our club. You have to really check your ego at the door of the clubhouse and be prepared to take a little ribbing.
Thanks for sending me to the All-Star Game. I’ll let you know what it’s like while I’m there next week.
David
you really deserve to be in the all-star game and I look forward to watching you play! (as always) have fun! and congrats on david letterman!

David,
First off, congratulations on making the All-star team! What a tremendous accomplishment, and I am very happy that you are beginning to realize your dreams. I look forward to seeing you on Letterman as well as the game/pre-game festivities next week. I am sure that you have probably run across this quote at some time or another in your life, but I would like to share it with you now. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths that you take, but by the moments that take your breath away."- Unknown~~ I hope that next Monday and Tuesday nights are some of those moments for you!
Take it all in and enjoy!
Rooting for you back home in Chesapeake,

Enjoy every second of your All-Star game experience ... even though it will be the first of many visits to this special event for you. We'll be rooting for you in the Home Run Derby, at the game itself, and on Dave Letterman (you'll do just fine). It's so heartwarming when great things happen to great people, David.

David,
I just don't know what to say. Your accomplishments obtain such amazing value and importance. You should be very proud of yourself knowing that you are going to appear as a special guest on the David Letterman show, and knowing that on Monday and Tuesday night, you will be playing on the All-Star team. I am a huge Mets fan, and you are definetly my favorite player on the team. I admire you as a role-model for so many reasons. You are modest, smart, eloquent, kind and have the gift of athletism (did i spell that right?). I just was reading an article that said you recieved a perfect 4.0 in high school, taking college courses! Low and behold, this is only one of your numerous achievments. I really hope that when I reach your age, I have succeeded in at least half of the things that seem easy for you to grasp. David, I just want to say that you have preformed fantastically in the last two and a half seasons. Good luck for the rest of the season, and as the Burroughs from Denver said, you will do just fine on the Letterman show, and you shouldn't be worried at all. Good luck and congrats on everything!

Your trip to the All-Star game is well deserved. I also want to thank you for sticking around and signing autographs after batting practice last night. My 7 year old got an autograhped ball from his favorite player. You are a class act.

You deserve all that you have right now!!! There are so many fans that have your back & I know you'll represent the Mets proud at the All Star Game. I'm sure it will be your first of many. Just keep being who you were the day you first step foot on the field, and I'm sure you will always be loved by all the fans. Don't ever change. You truly are 1 in a million and you will always have my support!

Thanks so much for this blog, David. It's a blast to read--and truly well written. I always love when they interview you for the pre-shows, and every answer you give seems transcript worthy. For someone who gets nervous in front of the camera, you do a phenomenal job. (And as for humor? We all know you've got it in you! The other day Lima was miked for the cameras when you ribbed him about getting an interpreter for his "English.") Dave Letterman's gonna love you as much as we do.
I write for a living (as a novelist), and I'm so glad to be a recent addition to the Mlblogs universe. Mark (aka Very Nice Head Blog Guy) asked me to become an MLBlogger after seeing my comment right here on Wright Now.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy writing about my beloved team--and watching you play. Glad you got a day of rest in there--and have FUN at the All-Star game!

You absolutley are one of the most deserving players out there to be on the all-star team. I have no doubts that you're going to help bring it home for the NL. Can't wait to see you on David Letterman. Just remember, the moment that red light stops making you nervous is the moment you're ego has taken over, so it's a good thing you get nervous! Good luck with the rest of your season and know that your fans, like me, can't get enough of you!

David,
First time commenter, long time Mets fan. First, I want to thank you for taking the time out of your EXTREMELY busy schedule to share your thoughts with your fans. It is interesting to get a player's perspective on how the season is going and what it is like to be a major league athlete, although from what you have written and others have said about you, it seems as if not much has changed for you personally. You appear to be a very grounded person who has not allowed the constant spotlight change who you are. In fact many of your teammates appear the same way and therefore are not just all-stars because of their records(although that is definately one aspect), but of who they are and how they present themselves. I think that the Mets in general are a real class act, from the management down. You guys deserve to be successful, because you work hard as a TEAM. Good luck in the all-star game, we will be cheering for you guys to bring home a National League win. As far as David Letterman is concerned you will do fine, because you are humble, sincere, have a great sense of humor and speak from the heart and that is why everyone likes you. Thanks for an exciting season!
Lets Go Mets!!

Best of luck next week and for the rest of the season!

First and foremost congratulations on your first of what will be many All-Star appearances. I had the pleasure of meeting you and Cliff during Spring Training this year. You signed for me at the game, and when I saw you guys out later that night, you were both kind enough to chat and pose for pictures. Your professionalism, dedication to your craft, and your performance on the field is unbelievable. Off the field you were just as impressive. You are wise and talented beyond your years. Keep up the good work and tell Cliffy to keep his head up. He's going to carry this team in the 2nd half.
Let's go Mets!

Hi Davey!
I really hope you have fun above anything else at your first of many all-star games; although it would be nice, since i bet the mets will be in the world series, and a hometown series would be nice :] Anyways, you already hit 70 RBI! That's really amazing considering your age; no doubt you'll be incredibly crazy good when you're a bit older. Pft, i can't imagine you getting a big head ever, we all know you're a sweet + good-natured guy dave. Best Wishes, -Abbie.

You've made it this far without getting a big head and you're in front of the most critical people, the most crutial people, in the world and you stayed grounded, you're an awesome guy, so trust me you will be fine. You are well on your way to a 120 plus RBI season. Congrats on everything. Good luck in the all-star game!!

Hey David! So I made a trip up to Shea on Wednesday (left the office early and everything) and got there only to find out you were taking a much deserved day off! Have to admit I was a little crushed, but a Met victory boosted my spirits. I also scored box seats right by 3rd base for Saturday so I'm pretty pumped about that. I'll be rooting for you as always and wearing my "Mrs. Wright" t-shirt. Congrats on the Player of the Month award, the All Star Game and being in the Home Run Derby. Oh and please do not be nervous about your TV appearances....you could just sit there and you'll still look hot. I know you're a talented baseball player and all but man, you just make me swoon, haha. Never thought I'd be 26 with a celebrity crush! Anyway, congrats again and best of luck to you now and always. Your spirit means so much to this team and these fans and we all love you tremendously for it! Go Mets!

You leave me in awe with your words. (And if you really are the one writing these blog entries, you are quite the talented writer, to boot.) Your humility and ability to remain grounded even after your fast track to heady success are way impressive. In fact, that's probably the one aspect about you that I love and admire the most: your quasi-"aw-shucks" demeanor. You are going to have the time of your life in Pittsburgh. Soak it all up and savor the moment. Congrats on your upcoming Letterman appearance. Wow, you're going national now! Even though NY is the biggest market in the country, for some reason or other, I sometimes see it as this little insulated bubble where no one else in the country knows what's going on here. Yeah, so it's gonna be exciting. Can't wait to hear your post-Letterman reaction, if you want to share. Even though you won't admit it, you ARE the best, dearest David. :)

David,
Just so you know, your performance on the field day-after-day is remarkable and astounding. I have grown up a fan of the Astros and Rangers, but since moving up here to Jersey have become a fan of the Mets now. Ya'll have become one of the best teams I have ever seen, yet not one of you is cocky about it. That's good, keep your heads on straight and your feet planted on the ground. My girlfriend is a die-hard Mets fan and she has always spoken accolades about you and the great ballplayer that you are. Congratulations on the All-Star team. Although it pained me to vote against Ensberg, I feel you were more than deserving to start. Good luck against the Marlins this weekend and keep up the good work.

first let me say you deserve to be in that all-star game ever since you started out. I knew that you were going to be the extra kick the mets needed to get them moving. this team this year has been amazing and im a very proud met fan! when i saw you in the roosevelt field mall in long island i was so excited to finally meet you. i want to meet you again because you are a true hero to me. im 15 years old and im going to shea for my 16th birthday.(im soo excited) i just wanted to say that watching you play is an enjoyment. You always have a smile on your face, but you also work very hard. You have made me a better team player than any coach i had.
Congratulation on the player of the month and also on making the allstar game. i must have voted for you about 10 times but you deffinitly should be there.
i just have to say that i went to the met game on wednesday and saw woodward take your position, dont get me wrong woodward is an awesome player but when i found out you werent playing i was upset. Watching you play makes the game more enjoyable.:) with you out there on the feild the team seems to come more to life.
thank you for being on the mets.
good luck on the letterman show i will make sure i watch you.
hope to meet you again...and to sing the national anthem at one of the games.
have a great rest of the year and more to come.
from,
a happy true met fan

Wow..I don't know if these really get to you..But I have a lot I want to say.
First off, congrats on getting picked for the all star team. That must feel great!
Second, I can't wait to see you on the Letterman show. Have fun!
THIRD, I can't wait to see you at the All-Star game, and at the Home Run derby. Good luck with all that!
Last but not least. I was at the game on wednesday 7/5 and I was sitting in the left field bleachers, and even though you didn't play you were still in the outfield during BP and you were right infront of me. I went crazy..THENN you turned around and threw me a ball. I cried.... I just wanted to thank you for that. You have no idea how much that meant to me. Thank you so much..
Good luck with everything...

David,
It's really nice to see someone like you getting all he deserves. You seem so genuine and really kind, and it's so nice to see you get rewarded for all of your hard work. Any time I hear you in an interview, you are so composed and you handle yourself with such class; that's so nice to see, especially for being so young; you are beyond your years. I just wanted to congratulate you on all of you accomplishments, and also thank you for not letting the glory get to your head; that's really refreshing. I know everyone probably tells you that they are your biggest fan, but I will be no exception. I'm always routing for you, and I know you will go really far, not only because of your incredible talent, but because of your obviously kind heart as well. How could anyone not like you? About the Letterman show, I actually think it's really sweet that you get nervous. Like someone else had said, the moment you stop getting anxious at the little red light will most likely be when it's gone to your head, so I think it's sweet that you get a little nervous. But don't be too nervous, everyone is supporting you, and we all want to see you go really far. Keep inspiring us to follow our dreams…

Congrats on making the All-Star team! Let's take this one from the American League... I'm sick of seeing them win it every year!
I'm going to the game in Chicago on Saturday 7/15... hopefully I'll be able to meet you!

Hey David, Just wanted to say congrats on going to the All-Stars, every met fan knew you would be on that list. I am really grateful for all the hard work and sacrifice you and your teammates contribute to this team and to every game. Just remember you can't win them all, but don't think that you have failed it will mess up your moral. As fans we can't even imagine what you and the team go through, but please know that we do appreciate it very much. As a fan myself i look forward to watching you guys play your heart out because i love the game. Baseball is my favorite sport, i'm not sure what i will do with myself when it is over. Well i wish you and the team lots of good luck, also good luck in the All-Stars and the homerun derby. You are such a great and humble player, please don't ever change. Take care and lot of good luck and fortune to your career and your personal life. LET'S GO METS!!! :)

hea David,
I was at the game last night and was so excited to see you. You looked gorgeous as always!!! I was wearing my blue David Wright jersey and screaming my head off everytime they said your name up at bat. I know you hear this all the time but I am your #1 fan...I love you soooo much!_! I have the biggest crush on you and would love to be your girlfriend!!!lol Just wondering...do you guys need a batgirl because I would be more than happy to be of assistance to you!
It was great that you guys split the double header today. The offense was on a roll and Valentin and Floyd were great. Good luck tomorrow in the final game before the all star break. I'll be watching you in the Homerun Derby, All Star Game, and on Letterman... I just know you'll be great!_!
LETS GOOOO METS!!!

Congrats on going to the all star game and to the home run derby. You really are a nice person I saw you at Atlas Terminals Mall a few saturdays ago and realize that you give back to the community which is really nice of you to do. I also have a question for you why is it that when a picture of you is taken during a moment in a baseball game that your toungue is out? Me and my softball team (who is mostly made out of Mets fans and who come to cheer the Mets on all the time especially the game on June 22 where you hit the two home runs and we saw you after the game with our WE LOVE DAVID WRIGHT #5 signs)always wondered why that was. And last but not least this is just to make your day YOU ARE VERY HOTT!! and Hey if the Mets are in ever a need for a bat girl hey gimmie an email and ill be there!

Congrats on the All-Star game man. I'm so psyched that you are getting that chance. I know it will be a dream come true for you. I'm over here in Iraq right now, at least for two more months. We are able to watch AFN (American Forces Network) and I saw the commercial you did to thank us for all we are doing out here. Hey man, it's no problem at all!!!!!!! I just thought it was cool that you took the time out and did that. Thanks man!!!!!

I think the Mets have done a great job this year, and David you are a Champion you deserve to be at the All Star Games. Swing with your heart not the bat, and don't let an ego get in the way of winning every game you and the team play.

**** nice hit, kid! Congratulations on the All Star vote; you certainly deserve it.
Thanks for making it feel good to watch the Mets again. When Joe McEwing was let go I thought it might not be worth following you guys anymore. But there's no shortage of heart on the field this year, and it's just wonderful to watch you all enjoy the game so much.
Thanks for bringing joy back to Queens again,

David,
I just wanted to let you know that my friends and I have decided to put "WRIGHT 4 MVP" on our chests for every game until we head back to college. We did it Wednesday night but to our dismay, you didn't get in the game. Thursday night was a different story, as we were sitting in the upper deck down the right field line as you hit your two-run homer. We don't know if you really see us or not, but we like to pretend that some of your success is based on our, "MVP" chants, screams of "Have my babies!," and chest painting (The have my babies screams are only for pure shock value to those seated around us haha). Good luck David, I wish you continued success and look for my boys and I, all 10 of us, in the upper deck.

You make all Mets fans proud!! and keep up what you're doing!

David,
First, your play today to win the game only proves that you deserve to be starting at third in the All Star Game.
Second, if you still have trouble on television, or even speaking to an audience, I recommend highly Toastmasters. At the very least, it'll come in handy at the events of your foundation.
Gack! You're such an inspiration at such a young age. I should have been the same at 23!

Hey,
I don't thin you're4 gonna win homerun derby because sometimes you have some problems lifting the ball when your intent is homerun. But you're already my pick for all-star game MVP you're gonna steal the show. Hope you don't screw on a Letterman, though you know Leno's gonna want you the next week right? You know who they are weird TV times exactly the same time.

Congrats on making the All-Star team and the Homerun Derby. You deserve it, but it's good that your teammates are keeping you humble because your humility makes you especially likeable. You were awesome in the game yesterday. I was at Shea, and your homerun was amazing. Keep up the good work and enjoy Pittsburgh.
All my best,

I have to admit I was thoroughly impressed from what you did at the homerun derby. I am a big fan, but honestly, I didn't think you would reach the final round. Congrats on a terrific "first, but not last" homerun derby!! Now try to win the All-Star game. With the Wright guy, it's NL time!!

David....Wow! That is all I can say. What an amazing performance tonight at the Derby. I was calling it all day....told everyone you would be the "sleeper". Everyone laughed at me at work--can't wait to see them tomorrow. While all of your fans knew you had it in you, it was so great to see you quiet down some of the doubters out there. Like you, I am so tired of hearing all about the American League and how the National League can't even measure up. You and the Mets don't get nearly the amount of respect you deserve and it must get so frustrating. But hey, maybe that's OK. Maybe that can just fuel your fires for awhile. Just go out there and keep doing what no one expects. Play hard and keep your heads up....don't let that 12 game lead get in your heads. You and the rest of the Mets have made going to Shea exciting again. For that we thank you! Go get a win for the NL tomorrow....we could use that home field advantage ;-) By the way, I was at the doubleheader on Saturday, 5 rows behind the Marlins' dugout (I was even on SportsCenter!) I swear you looked at me...Alright I'm probabl
