Fans have a thrilling chance to witness the Cardinals' last home games, promising an unforgettable experience.

Adam Wainwright, the four-time Cy Young finalist and two-time runner-up with the St. Louis Cardinals, will be making a special appearance at Busch Stadium on Friday as part of the team's Fan Appreciation Weekend.

Wainwright, who retired from baseball with the Cardinals following the 2023 season, will be signing autographs for fans on Ford Plaza. The event, open to the first 150 fans present, is not related to any meaningful games for the Cardinals and is intended to provide a reason for fans to attend the game.

Since retiring from baseball, Wainwright has been active in music and broadcasting, allowing fans to continue to keep up with him in his post-playing career. His return for the autograph event is not his first surprise appearance in St. Louis since his retirement.

In his illustrious 18-season career with the Cardinals, Wainwright posted a 3.53 ERA and recorded 2202 strikeouts over 2668.1 innings pitched. He retired as a two-time World Series champion with the Cardinals and was a finalist for the Cy Young Award on four occasions, finishing as a runner-up twice.

There is speculation about Wainwright potentially joining the Cardinals' local broadcast team in the future, although the likelihood of this is unknown.

Fans who are unable to attend the event on Friday can still catch Wainwright's music and broadcasting work to stay updated on his activities. Wainwright made a surprise appearance as a guest player for the Savannah Bananas when they played in St. Louis, which was a huge hit among fans.

The autograph session is happening on Friday during the 15th Fan Appreciation Weekend for the Cardinals. On Friday, during the Fan Appreciation Weekend, Cardinals players who appeared for autograph signing on Ford Plaza were not specified in the available search results, and no exact time was given for when they did so.

Fans are encouraged to come out and show their support for Wainwright and the Cardinals during this special event at Busch Stadium.
