NEW YORK (AP) -David Wright to Chipper Jones: Just kidding.
A day after the Atlanta Braves star said the New York Mets third baseman told him he was frustrated by the spacious dimensions at Citi Field, Wright said his remarks shouldn’t be taken literally.
“That was me having a good time with Chipper because I saw the look on his face after, you know, hitting 800 feet worth of fly balls and no home runs,” Wright said Tuesday before the Mets played Philadelphia.
Jones was so fond of hitting at Shea Stadium that in 2004 he named a son Shea. He went 4 for 7 last month in his first two games at Citi Field, where just 38 home runs were hit in the first 26 games, including 18 by the Mets.
