Wright batted three times against Kenny Rogers of Texas and struck out, grounded into a triple play, and then grounded into a double play. Mark McLemore pinch hit for Wright in the seventh inning. The Mariners won the game 9-7.
He never played in the majors again. Wright is studying for a pharmacy degree in Idaho now and has no regrets about his baseball career.
A highly inauspicious debut/career-ender to be sure. But, "Scoreboard, Baby"...Ron Wright made it to The Show and that's a whole lot more than I could ever say.
