Mets third-baseman David Wright appeared in a commercial over the weekend promoting something called the “Salvation Miracles Revival Crusade.” David appeared on the screen, and said, “Hi, I’m David Wright. I invite you to the ‘Salvation Miracles Revival Crusade’ with Dr. Jaerock Lee, at Madison Square Garden, July 27, 28 and 29.” And then you see people on stage, tossing their crutches aside and walking, and people getting out of their wheelchairs, and, I dunno, breakdancing, I suppose.

I don’t know if Wright is really into that sort of thing, and if he is, that’s fine, although I think he should certainly put “Leap of Faith” into his Netflix queue. But who knows, two weeks before that picture was taken, he may have been stricken with polio, glaucoma, the gout, and Tommy Morrison’s HIV may have relocated itself into Wright’s body. So who knows.

Anyway, the commercial has been pulled, and the Mets organization has apologized.

“David Wright and the New York Mets have no affiliation or association whatsoever with the event entitled ‘Salvation Miracles Revival Crusade,’ and neither approve of nor endorse the event. The recent TV ad about the event was produced without authorization or approvals through an abuse of a media-newsgathering credential.

“The Mets did not and would not endorse any such event or allow their logos and trademarks be used in such a fashion. The TV spots have been pulled and will not air again. We apologize for any problems or confusion that may have been caused by this unauthorized action.”

Even weirder, the New York Sports Page has dug up some things about one of the guys featured in the Revival. Dr. Jaerock Lee… well, that’s just gross.
