After an illustrious career in Major League Baseball, Adam Wainwright has decided to hang up his cleats and pursue a new career path. The former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher announced his retirement from the game on Wednesday, saying he was ready to move on to the next chapter of his life.
Wainwright, who turns 39 in August, spent 14 seasons in the majors, all with the Cardinals. He was a two-time All-Star and won a World Series in 2006. He also won the National League Comeback Player of the Year Award in 2009 and finished his career with a record of 150-93 with an ERA of 3.38.
But now that he’s retired, Wainwright is looking to explore different avenues. He’s already started working on his music career, releasing his debut single “Rise Up” in April. He’s also appeared on a few TV shows, including “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
In addition to his music and TV appearances, Wainwright has also adopted a new puppy. He shared a photo of the pup on Instagram, saying that he was “so excited to welcome this little guy into our family.”
It’s clear that Wainwright is embracing this new chapter of his life with enthusiasm and excitement. He’s already made an impact on the baseball world and now he’s ready to make an impact in other areas. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors!
