Posey tops Wright in contest finals

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- David Wright did not repeat as champion of MLB's Twitter-based "Face of MLB" contest.

Wright was beaten in the finals by San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey.

The contest, which involved brackets getting set up and players from competing teams going head-to-head, required fans to tweet the preferred player's name and the hashtag "FaceofMLB."

Wright did not seem too concerned. Asked shortly after the polls closed at 8 a.m. Thursday if he had prepared acceptance and concession speeches, Wright said: "For what? Huh?"

Reminded about the contest, Wright added: "Oh, was that today? I have neither."
