Wright Blasts off in Japan

According to Adam Rubin, who's following the USA team in Japan, David Wright hit a 2 run home run with 2 outs in the ninth inning this morning to tie the game at 7 against the Yomiuri Giants in the Tokyo Dome. And in the true all-star game fashion, the game ended in a 7-7 tie. Wright said following the game:

"We take pride in representing Major League Baseball. We take pride in representing our individual teams," "We’re going to come over here and try to win. There’s no doubt about that. It’s competitive. You get in these international competitions, you’re representing not only yourself. You’re representing a lot of different teams and countries and Major League Baseball. It was very exciting. I watched the replay and saw the reaction of the bench and how excited the bench got. That makes it a lot of fun."

Wright really loves making a name for himself all over the globe. He really makes the most of the "All-Star" events, the home run derby, a homer in the All-star game, and now this...he really knows how to make the most of a situation.
