Ummmm isn’t Captain America kind of a bad nickname? Here’s why.

  1.  I am not accusing David Wright of anything.
  2. I am not accusing David Wright of anything.
  3. Read #1 and #2 again
  4. I don’t personally think David Wright has ever broken the rules of baseball other than his undershirt choices
  5. I am not accusing David Wright of anything.

OK, get where I am coming from?  Anyway, I was watching a movie and saw Captain America (Steve Rogers in the Marvelverse) get his powers.  Doesn’t he get his super-powers by Cousin Yuri injecting him with a serum or something like that?

Now in the Marvelverse that’s really cool apparently, but in Major League Baseball Steve Rogers would be suspended for 50 games.  I don’t recall anyone ever making this connection before, we all just looked at David Wright being on the Team USA team in the completely silly World Baseball Classic, and he’s a captain and you put it together and you get Captain America.

So I get it, but now that I pointed this out, it’s kinda weird.

Off-season. What do you want from me?
