Recently, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after a successful 16-year career. Wainwright, who was a three-time All-Star, two-time World Series champion, and the 2009 National League Cy Young Award winner, has already started to transition into his post-baseball life.
The 38-year-old has been busy with a variety of projects, including adopting a new puppy, making television appearances, and exploring his love of country music.
First, Wainwright welcomed a new four-legged family member into his home. The former pitcher adopted an adorable puppy named “Wally” from a local animal shelter. Wainwright shared the news on his Instagram page, writing “We are so excited to welcome our new family member Wally to our home!”
In addition to his new furry friend, Wainwright has also been making television appearances. He recently appeared on the MLB Network’s “High Heat” show and was a guest on the Fox Sports Midwest show “Cardinals Live”. He also made an appearance on the “Today Show” to talk about his retirement and his plans for the future.
Finally, Wainwright has been exploring his love of country music. He has been working on a country music project with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb. Wainwright has said that he has been writing songs and recording them in Nashville, Tennessee. He has also been working with some of Nashville’s top songwriters and musicians.
Adam Wainwright is certainly keeping busy in retirement. From adopting a puppy to making television appearances to exploring his love of country music, there is no doubt that he will have plenty to keep him occupied in the years to come.
