St. Louis – An unforgettable day awaits loyal fans of the St. Louis Cardinals. The team has just officially announced that legendary pitcher Adam Wainwright will appear at Ford Plaza, Busch Stadium on Friday afternoon, as part of Fan Appreciation Weekend, to sign autographs for fans completely free of charge.
According to the announcement, the event begins at 5:15 p.m. on September 19, and is only open to the first 150 fans to arrive at Ford Plaza. These lucky fans will be given special wristbands to participate in the autograph session, where each fan will receive an exclusive autograph from Wainwright himself – the man who has become an immortal symbol in Cardinals history.
“A Reward for Loyalty”
The Cardinals said that this is not only an exchange event, but also a special thank you that Wainwright wants to send to the fans who have accompanied him for nearly two decades. Having stepped on the podium of glory with the Cardinals with 200 career wins and a memorable World Series championship, Wainwright knows how much love the city of St. Louis has for him.
“Adam has always considered the fans as family. This is an opportunity for him to directly say thank you in a simple but extremely meaningful action – an autograph, a moment that will never be forgotten,” the team representative shared.
Warning: “Don’t be late”
Because of the huge attraction of Wainwright’s name, the team warned that the crowd will definitely fill Ford Plaza very early. Organizers recommend that fans arrive several hours before the event begins if they want a chance to be among the lucky 150.
However, the rules are quite strict: only one autograph per person, no posing for photos, no personal messages or dedications. This is to ensure that as many fans as possible can participate and the event runs smoothly.
