Baseball history lovers, cover your ears: David Wright hates Wrigley Field.
The Mets legend made the declaration during an episode of The Cookie Club Crumbs presented by Insomnia Cookies while chatting with J.D. Davis, Dominic Smith and Steve Gelbs about where he did and did not enjoy playing.
"My favorite city probably in the summertime would be Chicago, but I hate -- and this is probably against all sorts of baseball religion -- but I hate Wrigley Field," he said.
While Wright kept talking, Gelbs circled back to get clarification. And before Cubs fans and the like begin to freak out, Wright explained the reasoning behind his disdain for the second-oldest ballpark in the majors.
"Well first of all, the playing surface, at least I don't know how it is now, but the playing surface was always very uneven. So I would get a lot of bad hops," he said.
"I tend to not like day games, so that hurts, and I'm very routine-oriented, and at the time, the cage was in like right-center field and you could only get it for like an hour so you're trying to split time with the rest of the offensive guys, trying to get your routine in."
Wright concluded: "So basically, it was the facilities, I'd say. The atmosphere is great."
