Pulling of an amazing play is one thing. Executing a trick play is another. Both make for quality highlight reel material, but why not combine the two? Most people don’t have the skill to accomplish both tasks at most, but David Wright is not most people. Wright made an outstanding diving stop against the Padres on Wednesday. When he realized he probably would not have enough time to throw out the runner at first, he decided to pull one out of the old magic hat. Check out the David Wright trick play on Cameron Maybin video:
Nothing Maybin can really do there. I suppose you can call it a mental error, but sometimes the mind just can’t work that quickly. If you don’t believe me, just ask UNC’s lacrosse goalie or Cerezo goalie Jin-Hyeon Kim. Those two know a little something about being faked out of their shoes.
