Despite what you hear on the interwebs these days, New York Mets third baseman David Wright is not dead. In fact, he’s very much alive, you guys.
He proved such by taking hacks in the cage prior to Monday night’s series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates. No, seriously, he did. Before you say “Pics or it didn’t happen,” here’s the video, which was supplied to us by SNY.

Obviously, Wright isn’t facing fierce competition here — these are BP fastballs, ya know — but it’s nice to see the umph he’s putting behind some of these swings.
