Show Notes

As fans slowly return to the ballparks for the 2021 season, it was 21 years ago, Adam Wainwright was drafted by the Atlanta Braves, his hometown team. Along with an extraordinary career that includes a World Series Championship title in 2006, this all-star pitcher will be forever linked to the St. Louis Cardinals. But of all the baseball highlights including a memorable 2006 NLCS Game 7 against the N.Y. Mets, “Waino” smiles with immense pride on winning the Roberto Clemente Award in 2020. Along with receiving that prestigious honor, he is proud of the tireless work of his foundation - Big League Impact and the millions raised for the less-fortunate. A devout Christian, Wainwright shares heartfelt stories about learning the game of baseball from his older brother, his battery-mate Yadier Molina and in the spirit of Roberto Clemente he’s adamant in his convictions on wanting everyone to always give back to the needy within their respective communities.
