It FINALLY Happened 

We got to see Yadi still be a dominant catcher after 20 years. We got to see Pujols reach 700 dingers. We got to see Waino reach 200 wins. I’m not a cardinals fan but man it’s great to see this trio of legends each go out on top in their own ways and terms.

Wano is a class act and nobody deserves it more. Great to see a legend get his name in the history books

Congrats on your 200th win Waino! Now Marmol, if you are paying attention. Let him DH one game before he retires. They are meaningless at this point. I would like to see this.

As a Mets fan, even though he dominated our team throughout his entire career, I have nothing but the utmost respect for Adam Wainwright. A true class act, an amazing player, and an incredible ambassador to the sport. Congrats on 200, Waino! Enjoy retirement!

Baseball is an amazing sport.

I'm very happy you included some video of his humanitarian efforts and the Roberto Clemente award at the end. Wanio is a HoF human imo.

I’m glad his 200th got to be a legitimately good start. Good for him, hopefully it was worth sticking around this year for him. Wins don’t mean as much as they used to, but 200 big league wins is no joke

You also got to remember that this is his first year ever without Yadi behind the dish. Like it was at a point where Wainwright said he knows what pitch to throw by just looking in each other's eyes. I know his issue this year is more than just not having Yadi but it probably plays a pretty big factor.

its a shame that waino isnt gonna end his career in the same fashion that yadi and albert did last year, but i am still super happy that he got to 200. hes gonna be able to live every day knowing that he went out as one of the league's greats

Well deserved for Adam Wainwright. Happy for him. As a Mariners fan, it sucks that Felix Hernandez never got a shot getting close to 200 career wins (169-136 career record). When he was dominant from 2009-2014 the Mariners offense was soo bad. Many of his loses or no decisions were cause the offense hardly scored during his starts. He basically had to pitch a complete game in order for them to win. Then his arm was never the same since 2015. By 2019, his arm was blown out. If he had 200 wins in his career, he would have had a shot at the HOF.

I'm a lifelong Cardinal fan, and am a year older than Waino. I'm so happy for him! He's straight up one of the biggest class acts in all of sports. Even though he has stunk this year, he deserved to get to 200 wins. He would have easily made it if not for losing nearly 2 full seasons due to injury in his prime. I'm so glad he'll get to go out on somewhat of a high note, although the team is bad.

I was so glad to have attended this game (on my 21st Birthday of all days), and Willy even hit the home run in the section right next to me 😁

Dude is my favorite pitcher of his generation. Dont let one year define an awesome career.

Great story man!!

Congratulations!!! Adam on 200 wins

I hope he goes into to broadcast booth. He's entertaining to listen to when he's done that.

Man, i remember when Wainwright used to be the ace and glue that held that rotation together for the Cards. It feels like so long ago. The dude is awesome guy for sure, sucks hes not having a good season, but at his age him going out there still is tremendous

Glad it happened but Waino should’ve hung em up last year. Although it really doesn’t matter because the cards suck this year. -cards fan

I'm proud of adam, he never kept his head down and didn't let the nasty comments get to him, and this wasn't luck. He, actually as a 40 year old man, identified his biggest problem, which was that his curve ball just didn't take batters off his other pitches anymore, and decided to lower his arm slot and turn his normally 12 to 6 curve into almost like a modern sweeper. just he did his own way, and this was just enough to pitch like a true pitcher again. I know its been ugly but I'm for sure telling my kids about this to make sure they never give up at what they are doing. well done adam, your a class act, and it was super nice of you to chat with my dad and I at bush wildlife sanctuary couple years ago.

“He is not that bad of a pitcher at this point” are you kidding me? He is absolutely horrendous this year.

EVERYONE is like "yay!!!" Adam got 200 wins in 18 years. what the fuck happen of the 300 wins. 200 doesn't compared to 300. which WAS the norm for pitchers to even be considered to be a HOFer. 200 is now the standard. just like getting 2,000 hits to what once was 3,000 to be the goal for a hitter. the standard to be great player has turned to shit. what the fuck happened to this sport!!

Love your vids dude

Adam wainwright has had a fine career, and while he isn’t a power pitcher, as the other pitchers you highlighted, has still won 200 games, an achievement. Your video, had done a great job of highlighting every bad pitch he has made. What you left out was verlander had a long period where he got lit up, he even considered retirement . Somehow , I feel if he was a Red Sox player you would be heaping praise on him, instead, we see game one of the 2013 World Series, and good pitches that were hit. His 200 wins is an achievement. You paint Adam as a pitcher who is lucky to have the career he has had, and a goofy guy-with his singing career.

I definitely believed you that he’s pushed someone to the ground. I don’t watch sport only stuff like this and I was about to look that up lol 😂

He's a cardinals legend congratulations on wanio getting 200 let's go cards

I'm so happy for him!

What a trio Wainwright, Molina, and Pujols were. Its sad to see three true legends leave the sport. Enjoy retirement you three, and keep being amazing

Man, 2 in a row. One of my favorites in my younger years. Too bad he couldn’t have had a middle of the road season for his last.

I'm a real STL homer, but I want to imagine I'd be rooting for #50 no matter what team he played for. The dude is a real class act

I remember he faced Jon Lester a couple of times in the 2013 World Series. Lester ended his career at exactly 200 wins. I almost don’t want Wainwright to win another just for that cool coincidence.

Concerning pitchers and quarterbacks, everyone always says, "I don't look at wins and loses for these guys. There's other stats that are a better gauge of performance." That is, until someone gets a nice even large number. Good for Waino!!!

When someone has been playing longer than you've been alive you don't really think about their retirement since they've always been there. Gonna miss Waino.

Not going to lie, I'm going to cry when he walks off the field for the final time.... Or takes his final AB, the guy always loved hitting, and since we don't have anything else to lose this year... they might just use the Ohtani Rule and let him DH and pitch a few times. He did have a couple good outings in August too. His start against the Padres he only gave up a single run all game, and then the bullpen gave up 3 more. Unfortunately the offense never bothered to show up for him in that game. Same could be said for some of this other outings. Yeah he had those where he gave up 7 runs in just 2 or 3 innings, but he'd gradually been getting better throughout August, but with little run support. The one against the Braves was to be expected though. Cardinals had just beaten the crap out of them in back to back games, and the Braves were pissed. No way they were letting that happen again.

Congrats, Adam Wainwright. Now, please retire.

Cooperstown bound

im a cardinals fan and saw waino do the national anthem I still thought mans story was true and that game waino pitched for his 200th win was the closest to a playoff game ive seen this year from the cardinals

Finally! That said, his final season seems familiar... *remembers David Cone in 2000* At least that season ended well somehow.

Hello my fellow Floridian Red Sox RU-vidr love your content I really really do

Glad that finally got it. Especially the way he did it.

Waino is my favorite pitcher ever and i was so happy when i checked the score after i finished work to see he finally got no. 200. great guy, i hope he gets into the HOF (unlikely tho sadly)

so happy for Wano man!

Im surprised considering the bad luck the cardinals have. If they have good pitching, the offense doesn't do anything. Bairly scraping 1 run is very much the most scary thing you can have with the cardinals pitchers, but they made it happen, thank god.

Awesome he made it to 200, as the years go by that number will be harder and harder to get to

One of the very few bright spots for us Cardinals fans this year

Let this be a lesson. Always appreciate the journey and what it took to get to that mountain top - no matter what it is you're going through.

I’m glad he finally got it But man Wainos season was terrible As a Cardinals fan I’m glad his season is finally over

754 earned runs later and we’re finally here

Waino has been a disaster this year but I half expected it with the pitch clock and him being 42

When the Cardinals traded J.D. Drew for unknown Wainwright and others, it was almost universally viewed by the media as a steal by the Braves. Shows what they know!

When I have children, imma use Wano’s last season as a lesson on why to never give up.

And it only took him probably having the worst final season ever

Yadi Caught Lester's 200th win, Contreras Caught Waino's 200th win.

As a cubs fan, I’ve seen home terrorize my home team, but hats off to wano

This will be completely forgotten if JV manages to win 300

Screw this guy … in the 2013 nlcs and nlds 2014 He was throwing at dodgers and telling fellow pitchers to do the same

He should stay one more year as a redemption tour

If Molina was still playing, he'd of eclipsed 200 several games ago. Molina meant that much to their game.

Even with Verlander and Scherzer I honestly think waino has more respect and is far more likeable out of the three

What caused the drastic drop? Molina leaving? His Age? The Pitch Clock? A combination of all?

Good for him 👍wish he was a Brave

Good for him. Now he can retire I'll finally be older than every player in the MLB. I'm sad now.

He dragged down his team to achieve a personal goal. Im sure he's a great guy but this season is nothing to celebrate.

Ahhh yeah bout his singing… uh let’s say he won’t win a Grammy.

i was kinda hopin for an 8 era ngl

Given he never actually got that cy young does 200 get him in hof?

How baby mamas Waino got? 😂

Still wish he retired last year so he could retire and then eventually go into the hall with Molina and pujols

😅

I knew it would happen you don't win 199 games being a loser even though statistically he was the worst pitcher in baseball this year and many of his games were hard to watch this year. Congratulations on 200 Wainwright no body deserved it more than you!

Only 2 things will be shown from thus year signing an 200

Typical brewers take a pitcher who has been terrible all year and make him look like a cy young finalist

Wow couldn’t have scripted it any better

Now he can hang it up and stop embarrassing himself. Weak way for a legend to go out.

he didn't hit, nothing vintage here. Playing that annoying AL ball in the final season.

Taking PEDs in the last month of his career? Maybe

Pitcher's dont win/lose games. Teams do. Delete the win-loss stat.

First

As a cards fan, fk wainwright u should have retired last year... lost all them games this year just for 200 wins.. deadass lost the team mad games
