This feeling is what drives aching David Wright

WASHINGTON — What was it that Roy Campanella said?

“You have to have a lot of little boy in you to play baseball for a living.”

Well, let’s be perfectly frank here: There haven’t been a lot of days lately when David Wright has felt like a little boy. When you’ve got a cranky back, when you have to go through hours of treatment just to determine if you feel well enough to do your job every day? You feel a lot closer to 60 than to 6.
A lot closer to the end than to the beginning.
