WHEN METS third baseman David Wright agreed to appear
in ads for Vitamin Water last year, he didn't take cash. Instead, he took a
0.5% stake in the company. Good move. Coca-Cola recently agreed to buy the
company for $4.1 billion. Wright's take was estimated at $20 million. He told
the New York Post it's not quite that much but did concede that he was
"extremely pleased."
