The captain : a memoir / David Wright with Anthony DiComo.
"The memoir from the last Mets captain, David Wright, one of the most admired players in recent MLB history, about his inspiring and deep commitment to the game"-- Provided by publisher.
Wright played his entire fourteen-year Major League Baseball career for the New York Mets, and when he came back time and again from injury, he demonstrated the power of hard work, commitment, and love of the game. Nicknamed "Captain America" after his performance in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, Wright is a seven-time All-Star who holds Mets franchise records for most career RBIs, doubles, total bases, runs scored, walks, sacrifice flies, times on base, extra base hits, strikeouts, double plays, and hits. Here the unassuming Mets third baseman and captain tells it from his perspective. -- adapted from jacket
