OK, he's not quite in the same arena of Warren Spahn winning 23 games at the age of 42 or Hoyt Wilhelm still twirling knuckle-balls at the age of 49 in 1972, but the 39 year-old Adam Wainwright has had 2 consecutive excellent starts in which he ceded only 3 Runs over 16 Innings Pitched ...... one of which was a Complete Game (9 Innings Pitched, 2 Runs.) In those 2 games, he had 18 Strikeouts and only 1 Walk !!! ) O.o

Last year, at the age of 38, Waino pitched to the tune of a 3.15 ERA and a 1.051 WHIP, and led the Major Leagues with 2 Complete Games (in a 60-game season.)

He's currently on the COVID-IL ...... who knows how much longer Waino can keep pitching at (at least) a respectable level when he comes back ??? Regardless, Cardinals fans have gotten many thrills over 17 seasons from the 6' 7" right-hander who was an Atlanta Braves 1st-Round draft pick out of high school in Georgia back in 2000.

(vs. METS, 5/03)

 

I was just watching the Mets playing the Cardinals ...... the Cardinals lead by a score of 6-5 in the top of the 9th inning ...... the Mets have the potential tying run on 1st base with one out ...... and the lights go out in St. Louis !!! ) O.o
