Batting practice and shagging balls in the outfield wasn't enough. Nope, it took inspiration from baseball guru Britney Spears for David Wright to break out of his slump.
Jose Reyes and Billy Wagner were skeptical to join in this taboo ritual, for they both are hardcore Mormons.

Will this trend spread? It worked wonders for the Mets, who won today, and for Wright, who drove in the winning runs.
NY Mets, the team, the time, the hairless.
