Hall Call Ep 019 - David Wright 03 - 10 - 2020 by Hall Call

David Wright’ baseball career began in Chesapeake, VA, and it would eventually lead to him becoming one of the all-time greats in New York Mets history. Drafted directly out of high school by the Mets, Wright would quickly his way through the minors, including a stint with his hometown Norfolk Tides, before becoming a 7x All-Star over 14 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Mets.

Wright got the chance to test his skills against major league talent at an early age, playing with and against future major league stars in little league, high school, and AAU. Wright takes great pride in the baseball legacy Virginia has, and his role in cultivating that, as he along with fellow 2020 inductee Mike Cubbage become the 33rd and 34th baseball inductees into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.
