Former MLB star Adam Wainwright talked to Fox News Digital about his new music and his opportunity to play the Grand Ole Opry this weekend.
Adam Wainwright is most known for his prowess on the pitcher’s mound. He was a three-time All-Star and World Series champion with the St. Louis Cardinals at the height of his career. He retired from the majors following the 2023 season with 200 wins, more than 2,000 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.53. Instead of preparing for spring training like he normally would this time of year, Wainwright is preparing to make his Grand Ole Opry debut Saturday in Nashville. 'I’m super excited. Can’t wait.
just never thought that I would be worthy of a great invitation like that. I’m very excited. I want to make sure that I honor that with a great performance.' Wainwright teamed up with Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Gary Baker to releas the single 'Time to Fly' late last year. He said he felt an added boost of confidence from Baker and others when they expressed their belief Wainwright could potentially embark on a country music career.
’m very blessed to be able to transition into other good things. My wife says I lost one job and got three instead.' Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
