As regular readers know, a shirtless photo of Mets slugger David Wright is kind of the Holy Grail of the (212). So when a kind reader wrote to say he thought he had one, I was most appreciative. But upon intense inspection, my feeling was close but no cigar. For one thing, I don't see Wright as being the manscaping type. And the hunky third baseman is a "big boy," which means I doubt his abs are anything close to popping. The mouth seems a little off, too. I'm notorious bad at this kind of thing, so I'm turning it over to you guys. Please VOTE below -- and I'd love to hear thoughts in the comments section, too. I say he's not Mr. Wright, but he'd definitely work as a Mr. Right Now. (If you need more sample photos of David, please click HERE.)
The authentic David Wright
As good as David Wright looks this season with his burr cut, my eyes are beginning to wander toward another natural third baseman, Mr. Daniel Murphy (aka Butterfingers), who is having a tough time learning to play the outfield but looking awfully hot while he does it.

I post a lot of pictures of Mets slugger David Wright 'cause I think he's cute -- oh, and because he's a great baseball player. But I also think he seems to be a really kind and genuine person. I don't know him, so I have no way of knowing for sure. But every time I turn around his foundation is doing something for those who are less fortunate, and I can't help but think his actions speak volumes about the kind of man he truly is -- and that just makes him that much more attractive.

Mets third baseman David Wright sure looked cute being interviewed, during the South Florida vs. Rutgers football game last week, about Joe Torre turning down the Yankees offer.
