I've added Wright to Category:American cricketers (note that the cat name is not "United States cricketers"), but thought a brief explanation might be in order for those unfamiliar with cricket. Here is CricketArchive's statistical summary of Wright; as you can see, he played twice in first-class cricket - those games were both for USA v Gentlemen of Philadelphia, in 1883 and 1884.
I'm not very familiar with baseball, so am not certain how "Major League Baseball" applies to players of Wright's era, but then the term "first-class cricket" was only specifically defined in 1947, so I'm going by the fact that he's categorised as an MLB player. The reason that matters is that to have played both MLB and f-c cricket is exceptionally unusual; I'm not sure whether Wright is unique in that regard, but it's certainly notable!
There really ought to be a few words in the main text mentioning Wright's cricketing feats, but it's tricky to know where to put them given that he played his first-class matches after he'd retired from baseball. Loganberry ( Talk) 02:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
under the section "Baseball Legacy" it states, "Wright lived long enough to be consulted regarding the baseball centennial celebrations of 1939...", yet the date of death is listed as "Died: August 21, 1937 (aged 90)" Winthrop62 ( talk) 20:25, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
