Adam Wainwright

Adam Wainwright is one of those rare guys who spent his entire career — all 18 years — with one team, the St. Louis Cardinals, and that kind of loyalty feels almost mythological in modern baseball. I love that about him. A 6'7" right-hander from small-town Brunswick, Georgia, "Waino" had that big slow curveball (the "Uncle Charlie") that hitters knew was coming and still couldn't touch. He was a three-time Gold Glove winner, a perennial All-Star, and the kind of ace who pitched huge in October when it actually mattered. He and Yadier Molina were one of the greatest pitcher-catcher duos in the sport's history, and watching their partnership over nearly two decades was genuinely something special. Workhorse, craftsman, team guy — Adam Wainwright is the blueprint for doing the job right the whole way through.
