Baseball veteran Adam Wainwright commits fully to FOX Sports, embarking on an analyst role.
Revamped article:
Listen up, sports fans! It's official: Adam Wainwright lands a broadcasting gig with Fox Sports, starting this season. Known for his pitching prowess with the Cardinals, Wainwright has found another calling as an analyst, sharing his baseball know-how with millions of viewers.
Sharing the booth with Adam Amin and A.J Pierzynski, Wainwright seems right at home. With Joe Davis and John Smoltz taking the limelight on the main network, expect Wainwright to shine on FS1 and Division Series broadcasts in October. He's also tipped to join the pre-game and post-game studio shows, making his presence felt all season long.
So why's this move a slam-dunk for Wainwright? Balancing fatherhood and a passion for country music. Being a full-time dad is top priority, and his exact schedule at Fox Sports will cater to his other pursuits. Plus, his new album drops on February 23, and he'll be opening for the Zac Brown Band in St. Louis on April 6. Wainwright's not retiring from baseball, just exploring other passions post-playing days.
But that's not all! Rumor has it Wainwright is joining Bally Sports on a part-time basis, covering St. Louis Cardinals games. Jim Edmonds has taken a backseat, and Brad Thompson occasionally takes family days off. Pairing Wainwright with Chip Caray promises a game you won't want to miss. And fear not, if you've been missing Wainwright on the field, he'll be gracing your screens throughout the summer months ahead.
