David Wright: Captain of My Heart

Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks the sky's the limit for sexy slugger David Wright. Delta Air Lines named a plane after the New York Mets' All-Star third baseman Monday at LaGuardia Airport. The plane, an MD-88, is called The Wright Flight, and is used on shuttles flights between New York, Boston and Washington. The plane's name and Wright's signature and jersey number (5) are next to the boarding door. The 23-year-old Wright said that the honor was only fitting given that he and his "Wright brothers," Daniel, Matthew and Stephen, used to joke as kids growing up near Norfolk, Va., that they were related to the other Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, who are credited with making the first successful flight on Dec. 17, 1903. "I use Delta to go home to visit family and friends," Wright said Monday, with more than a hint of product-endorsement for money, "so this will be pretty cool to take a plane named after me when I go home." Wright was the NL's starting third baseman in the All-Star game this year. The Mets, who won the NL East, are making their first playoff appearance since 2000. They face the Los Angeles Dodgers at Shea Stadium on Wednesday. (AP)
