Maybe so. Let's find out.

According to the inestimable BaseballReference.com, a total of 41 men named Wright have played Major League Baseball; but six of them had "Wright" as their middle name rather than as the last, or family name, so they will not be considered for this team.

It's no great loss, frankly, as among the six, the best was probably Bill W. Regan, who played some fair second base for a few years for the late 1920s Red Sox; but of the six, the one you've heard of never even batted in the major leagues -- Archibald W. "Moonlight" Graham of the 1905 Giants and 1989's Field of Dreams.

And then there's Russ Wrightstone, who hit nearly .300 over nine years mostly with the Phillies throughout the 1920s, playing every position on the diamond except catcher, mostly on the corners of the infield. He's out, too.

That leaves us with 34 candidates to show the Wright Stuff (c'mon, you knew that was coming, and at least I kept it out of the headline) -- can we possibly form a gift-basket full roster out of this list of Harry & David intermediaries?

Let's see.

You start with baseball's version of the Wright Brothers, George and Harry, who are this family tree's only Hall of Famers; George was primarily a shortstop, while Harry played a little outfield. By today's standards, these guys weren't Hall of Famers as players, and though both were pennant-winning managers eventually, they are in Cooperstown for their roles in the game's early rise.

And of course, there's David, the young Mets 3B, who has "potential All-Star" written all over him, but for the moment, he has exactly 36 fewer career base-hits than did the immortal Buddy Biancalana.

The only Wright ever to make an All-Star team so far is LHSP Clyde, who won 22 games for the 1970 Angels, but by the time Ryan and Tanana were in place in '74, Clyde was losing 20 games for Milwaukee. Many people thought that Spawn of Clyde, RHSP Jaret, would become the second Wright and the second member of his family to be an All-Star, especially after his performance in the 1997 World Series, but it hasn't happened. Following Jaret's bounceback 15-8 campaign in Atlanta last season, his new employers in the Bronx hope it hasn't happened "yet."

COMMENTARY
Obviously, the team is weak from the left side of the mound and behind the plate; and we had to cheat just the tiniest bit to find a 1B, moving our HOF shortstop there since we had a decent alternative for short; the only other Wrights to play 1B are the RHRP Gene, for one game, and the DH Ron, who has only done so in the minor leagues.

We'd love to include RHSP Orville Jorgens, a 10-game winner for the '35 Phillies, and especially LHSP Wilbur Wood, a four-time 20-game winner, but it'd be simply wrong to claim this Wilbur and Orville were Wrights.

So what IS wrong with these Wrights?
