Everybody always asks, "What's it like to play with Albert and Yadi? Are they just the best?" My answer... "yeah, it's great! Especially when they're playing and not in the dugout scheming! For 17 years, if Yadi isn't playing, he's going to pour water down my pants.

What a surprise to see
@Jack9Flaherty
waiting on me at the airport like this... then I was wheel-chaired all the way to the plane. He respects his elders so much. Good one young fella.
Don't worry
@PujolsFive
... I gave up a home run in my first ever game too! You'll figure it out and who knows... 17 years from now you and
@A_Knizner
might break me and yadi's record!
Welcome back
@PujolsFive
You were a great teammate, you are a great friend, and one of the greatest
@Cardinals
/baseball players to ever live. I don't know what the record for longest ovation is but I hope you pass that tonight
So happy for the
@StLouisBlues
organization, this great city, all the great people who’ve been looking forward to this for so long, and the amazing players who inspired us all year! Proud of my buddy Petro for being an incredible leader!!!
This was the scene today as I drove in around 2:00. In my 17+ years playing in this great city this is the best I've ever seen our crowds. That's saying a lot, but it's true. Y'all have been amazing all year. We're feeling it... thanks. Another month of that would be just fine
Been with this girl since my junior year of high school! 21 years total and 15 years married today. Love you more than ever baby girl. Still the purtiest person inside and out I've ever met
I count each year that I have found out I made the
@Cardinals
roster a tremendous blessing. Thank you Lord for the opportunity to represent this great city and organization. Pretty cool I get to play catch with this old fella too!

Got to meet a very special person tonight! Laila we were so blessed to meet you! We are all here cheering on our
@StLouisBlues
and wanted to meet the secret weapon!!!Prayers up for you tonight! You are an inspiration!!!!
Want to clear a few things up as I didn't pitch like I wanted to down the stretch and feel the need to explain. On Aug 28th I was hit in the knee by a comebacker against Atlanta. Without knowing it, after that game my stride length got shorter by almost a foot. Timing was thrown
Wow. Yesterday was.... awesome. Thanks to everybody who came out to watch us play and to those who tuned in at home. Thanks to the
@Cardinals
for that presentation at the start. That was an incredible day and great start to the season. Back to work tomorrow!

Lots of cool things happening lately but nothing compares to this.
@Mrswaino
and I have been waiting anxiously to announce that we have added a beautiful little boy to our family. So, I’d like to be the first to introduce Caleb Adam Wainwright to all of you! Praise the Lord!
Want to send a big thank you out to everybody who wished me a happy birthday today! Today was a special day that I'll never forget. Thank you for always supporting me over the years! I love being a part of
@Cardinals
nation!
People keep asking me if I’m officially retired. Well, here is my official retirement paperwork that we turned in to the
@Cardinals
and
@MLBPA
. Retired? Absolutely, for all the best reasons. Will send more later. Love y’all.
Lou Brock was the first person from the
@Cardinals
organization that I met. I walked into the spring training clubhouse put my stuff down, turn around, and here comes Lou... walking right towards me. He hands me a ball and says, "Will you sign this for me?" (cont'd)
@Cardinals
nation lost another legend today. Mr Gibson is one of the reasons this franchise is what it is. By all accounts one of the most ferocious competitors to ever live, and one of the most loved Cardinals players ever. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Yesterday’s “Day After Pitching Old Man Walk” brought to you from home… Busch Stadium. Spent some time talking with one of the great workers that make things go, Tillman King…. Great guy. This view was unbelievable. PS… thank you for all the support lately. Love y’all
Man… whew. Yesterday was an unforgettable moment for me. Thanks for always making me feel loved St Louis. I have loved being here with y’all through it all. Now, let’s go win this thing!

When I was dreaming of being a dad years ago it was all playing hoops, throwing the ball, wrestling... then I had 4 girls... and while they sometimes want to do those other things...here is really what goes on over here! Haha! Love my girls.
These birds are up to something. It’s time for all of
@Cardinals
Nation to get behind what’s going on! This is a group of winners. These young fellas are hungry, and out to prove something! So are the old guys!!! BELIEVE!!!

Congrats to my buddy and teammate since 2004
@Yadimolina04
on an amazing accomplishment. 2,000 HITS???!!! Wow. So happy and proud to know and play with this stud.

I love the olympics. Whenever the next Olympics are that have baseball I want in. If I have to be the bat boy or the assistant to the assistant pitching coach I will do it. Just want to be able to represent this great country.

Just so everyone knows, I feel great. 100%, with zero symptoms. Out of an abundance of caution and following MLB protocols I have to test negative twice before I can return. Which we're hoping is very soon. Thanks for thinking about me!
Words can’t describe how special last night was for me and my family. Thank you
@Cardinals
nation for making a kid from South Georgia feel at home here all these years. And, thank you to everyone who has sent me messages. I’ll get to em as soon as I can! Love y’all!!!
Man this is well done. Great job
@budweiserusa
What a pleasure it has been to be
@Cardinals
in St Louis for this many years. Thank you for honoring us.
I love replay. Glad we have it for sure. But, the slide play where the runner beats the play by a mile but comes off between where his foot touches and his hand touches shouldn't be an out. He beat it... he's safe. Just my opinion, I'm okay if you disagree. I'm right though.
A teammate just asked me... what’s that smell in our clubhouse. I told him it’s a smell that I haven’t smelled in a few years. It’s the smell of all our champagne pops over the years and the faintest hint of mildew. It’s one of my favorite smells in the world.

Just when I started to get pretty down about everything going on... I looked out and saw this. Reminded me that I serve a great God. I will keep my eyes on Him
The end of the season should have been way different for me, and who knows what happens if I'm sharp down the stretch. I feel terrible about it. Y'all deserved better. My team deserved better. I owed an explanation... so there you go. Go
@Cardinals
I love getting this reminder every year. I'll never forget the moment I heard I was traded ...."Sir, I love your daughter...(phone rings) ""oh I just got traded to the
@Cardinals
? Okay, gotta go."" "Sooooo, ummm, never mind that...Do I have your blessing to marry Jenny?"
Happy Easter everybody! How blessed we are to have a Savior Who endured what He endured for us, persevered for us , and rose up... beating back death to fulfill all prophecy of the One Who would be to come. He is Lord and He is Risen!
Yesterday was something I’ll never forget. But, it wasn’t just about me. Jenny’s friends made shirts in honor of her, and the countless sacrifices she’s made to allow me to play this long. She’s been my biggest supporter and hopefully she’s okay with seeing a lot more of me!
One year ago today my family was forever changed when our little man was born and joined our family. Happy 1st Birthday to my little stud Caleb! When you get old enough to read this you'll read just what a true blessing from our Lord you are! Can't wait to watch you grow up!
Just wanted to take a second and congratulate my good friend
@PujolsFive
on 3,000 hits!!! I’m so happy for you hermano! What a great accomplishment! Best player I’ve ever seen in person, and one of the greatest men too.
St Louis, I am so thankful for all the years we spent together! This one’s for you. Thank you to our friends at
@PlayersTribune
for organizing this. Love y’all!
Trying to listen to this impeachment inquiry is pretty hard. I am beginning to lose faith in our lawmakers to do what's best for this country. It has gotten too partisan which has completely hindered the chance of coming together to do what's right for the people of the USA
Hopefully this really is a
@Cardinals
fan! Was parked next to this golf cart today and my little girl wanted me to go look for him. This seemed like a better option!
Rainout today so I am officially announcing my availability for the HR Derby. While stats don't completely show my hitting ability, you can ask the fans sitting in foul territory beyond the left field foul pole if I have any pop.

No matter who would have won the election I would have been rooting for them afterwards. I feel like all people who are elected deserve a chance to do great things for the people they work for.
Congrats
@KoltenWong
!!! Bout time! Man, so happy for you. I know how hard you've worked to get this well deserved honor. You're a stud!!! First of many
Anybody out there who thinks that fans shouldn’t try to catch balls hit into the stands need to relax. What in the world are people supposed to do??? “Here comes a really hard ball hit really hard but I’m just going to sit still and let it hit me right in the junk.” Cray cray
Things to do for the game of baseball: 1. Get rid of Instant replay on every play. It should be for egregious errors only. A manager gets two flags... throw them right away or don’t. 2. Get rid of over the top shifts. Two guys on each side of the base. 3. No DH in the NL!
Had a chance to meet lots of great people this last trip. I met a little girl named Emery this week with her mom that absolutely melted my heart. She cheered us on in Milwaukee and in Chicago. Today she gave me this letter along with donating her allowance to
@BigLeagueImpact
To all of The fans out there...I can't wait to get back out there for y'all. Hopefully soon! Anyways, I heard this song today and it reminded me of our situation. So... this is to you
@MLB
These two lineups are awesome, but harder than getting these great hitters out is matching socks in a house with 7 people. Amazingly, every sock you see has no match. It’s just not possible! I’ve spent an hour matching socks… there really is a sock monster
Adding the DH to the national league is a bad idea in my opinion. The difference of the leagues is one of the beautiful things about baseball. The National League brand of baseball is a beautiful game, and I think, the way baseball is supposed to be played
Designated hitter in the National league is “gaining momentum,” Tony Clark says.
Paul Revere rides again.
The DH is coming.
The DH is coming.

Just a reminder for me.... I love wearing the birds on the bat.

Looking forward to proving every last one of you underneath this wrong. Thanks for the motivation. There’s a balance… read the comments and get depressed? Or read the comments and put the war paint on. See you soon
